Listen Later

Kathryn Burmeister, The Happiness LawyerTM, shares with us her journey to live apart from the status quo and helps you in defining success for yourself.


Defining Success for Yourself

It's easy to get caught up in what society tells us we should be doing in order to be successful. We're told that we need to get good grades, go to college, get a job, and so on. But what if that's not what makes you happy?

Success is different for everyone. So don't let anyone else tell you what it looks like for you. Find what makes you happy and go after it. Don't settle for a life that doesn't make you happy just because it's the "normal" thing to do.

Find your own definition of success and go after it with everything you've got. You'll be much happier in the long run.
