What is your measure of success?

Change your measures of success.

Success doesn’t have to be measured by what you do, it can be measured by who you show up as every day.

If you are unhappy, dissatisfied, frustrated – change your measures of success.

What success isn’t?

  • Winning and it not satisfying you
  • Having a degree and not feeling good enough
  • Being married for 30 years and feeling alone
  • Having money in the bank and not spending it
  • Running a business , providing a product service and employment for all your staff and feeling like you aren’t enough.

Play around with what success actually means to you.  I can’t tell you what that is.  Your measure of success is different from everybody elses.  It’s just that we have been conditioned to be the same.  When I get…… then I’ll be successful. ( ie When I get a house, When I get married, when I have kids, When I get that dream job, When I ….. )

Alex from I Fight you Fight – his measure of success was moving his eyes to read the time on the clock after he woke up in bed paralysed at 16 after a rugby accident.

I have changed my measure of success to being able to be calm and relaxed, to be able to choose, to know that I am more than good enough, to have a freedom Friday, to spend time with my kids when I want and the list goes on.  For me it is a feeling and it is about being in the present.

What is it for you?

Want to redefine your measure of success – I’d love to help you – Make a time to speak with me here.

Have a fantastic week ahead!

One of the hardest things to do…

One of the hardest things to do… is REST. This was something I was never really good at. I couldn’t even take five minutes out for myself without justifying how “busy” I was. It used to feel really uncomfortable to put myself first. Thankfully I have learnt how do to...

Is there ever a “right time”?

Is there ever a “right time”?

People often tell themselves  that they are  too busy, too early, too late, or I’ll start "when the time is right." But what if time isn't the problem? Nature doesn't hesitate. A tree knows when to let go of its leaves and when to grow new ones. It doesn't overthink...
