If You’re Not Enjoying It, It’s Not Success

Success is kind of a big deal around here. Everyone wants it. …And why wouldn’t we. It’s a measure of how well we’re using our potential. (And lord knows we don’t want to “waste” that.)

Typical success looks like - how many followers you have, how much money you’ve made, how many awards you’ve won, how big your house is, what car you drive, how many impressive trips you’ve taken, and most importantly, how skinny you are.

People want to see your success. (How else will we know how well you’re doing?)  

But in my corner of the world, we’re not going for typical success…we’re going for true success. True to you, true to your rhythm, true to your path, true to your soul. True success answers the question, Are you enjoying life? with an emphatic, I mf love it!

Loving your life is the new power flex of success.

Because if you’re not enjoying life, can it even be considered success?

Not in my book. (And I am writing the book.)

Success isn’t some Hollywood version of achievement, but it’s also not convincing yourself to be grateful for what you have now while quietly ignoring your soul-level wants.

True success lets you have both – soul-satisfying success as defined by you and soul-gratifying enjoyment that becomes the path there.  

That is potential unwasted and well-lived.
