Measuring Your Success

There are many ways people measure their success in life. It could be how much money they have, how happy they are in their relationships and career, how they have maintained good health or by other measures. It’s important for you to know how you measure success so you can feel great about the outcome or know when you need to work harder. When you decide what form success takes in your life, you can measure it accordingly. The main thing is not to think about your personal success as someone else sees it.

To you, success may be valuing and helping people realize their hopes and dreams. The goals you set should depend on what success means to you. You can then measure that success by the mini and large goals you successfully reach.

Knowing what success means to you in your own life will help you become excited and motivated about goals. That positive energy will make you take the appropriate actions necessary to reach them.

You may already feel successful because you’ve overcome so many obstacles in your life. It’s important that you realize how far you’ve come. That will give you confidence to keep going.

Some other ways to measure your success might be feeling love from those you love, respect from those you respect and admiration from those you admire. When you feel successful, you’ll also feel a sense of purpose for your life and become more confident that you can make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others.

Never attempt to set goals and become successful according to what someone else wants for you. You will never be satisfied if you take that path. You are the only one who gets to determine your own success and measure it according to your own standard.

When planning for your personal success, believe in what you can accomplish and dream big. Find out what inspires and motivates you and follow those clues to move closer to your own version of success.

Many have lived their lives without knowing what success means to them. They struggle and try many different paths, but none ultimately works for them. To zero in on what success really means to you guarantees that you will live life to your full potential.

Living your life to the best of your ability should be the ultimate goal. Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something that won’t make you feel successful, just because others think you should.

The Skill of Self-Advocacy for Women

Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety. These are all very different examples; but they each communicate a vital part of self-advocacy which is understanding the value you bring to the table, communicating your preferences clearly, and recognizing what you need to feel in contr...
