What is Success??

"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."- Maya Angelou

Success is defined in the dictionary as "the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame."  This definition seems very wrong in so many ways, so I looked up several different articles and found one that really intrigued me. It was how "9 incredibly successful people" defined success.  The definition they described with success was a lot more positive than the dictionary's definition of it. And this is what those 9 people said...

1. Money and power aren't enough.

2. Success is a matter of satisfaction.

3. Success is about living in accordance with your values.

4. Success is about enjoying your work.

5. Success is being relentless.

6. Success is about engagement.

7. Success is a matter of constant growth.

8. Success is a grind. 

9. Success is deeply individual. 

I think that all of these influential people know what they mean when they define success because they have lived to the dictionaries definition of success. However along the way had their own interpretation of what success really meant to them.  By figuring out what we think is successful, it will help us understand where we need to head with our motivation and where the drive should really allow us to become our own definition of success.
