What Does Success REALLY Look Like (For You)


Listen Later

According to the Oxford Dictionary, success is the accomplishment of an aim and purpose.
For most, it’s all about being wealthy and being on top. This is what the world told us to strive for. But, don’t get caught up on this definition as each of us have different definitions and measures of our success.
In this episode of The Smart Zen Podcast, let Yumi help you what true success means for you. Where does your happiness lie in the future? What are you doing right now to move towards it? Where do we start? The first step is to know yourself and have an inner peace so you can set your goals. Then, everything else will follow, from planning to executing to finally fulfilling them.
Learn how you could achieve your own success today. Just remember that success is also about enjoying the here and now of your journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Goal-setting is the most important thing, and it should be your priority. Why start a journey without knowing your destination? It’s easier to plan, set the time frame, and execute when you see where everything is going.
Your definition and metric of success is different from every other person. Sometimes, we base it on other people’s experience, and thus, we end up comparing ourselves to them.
“In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.” – Richard Branson
Though being wealthy and influential in business is a good measure of success. True success for businesses should be based on how they contributed valuably to society and every individual’s well-being.
Remember to live in the present and not just put your entire focus in the future. It’s great that you’ve planned and readied the path towards your success, but you have to enjoy every little thing that happens along the way. Enjoy every milestone achieved, and gain insights from everything that happens.
