“If you don’t know where you are going any road will take your there.” Lewis Carroll
Success is a system. And success means different things to different people. Heck, success means different things to the same person at different points in their life. For me success is more of a feeling than of acquiring things. I traveled to the principality of Andorra this weekend and on the way we passed beautiful and ancient villages that seemed to sprout out of the mountainsides at every turn. I felt satisfaction. I felt a feeling of incredulity that I am living in France with such beauty only minutes away. Satisfaction. Contentment. Awe. A feeling of being truly alive.
Success is a system but you can only put that system into place and follow it if you know where you want to go. Whats’ your destination? What’s your meaningful goal (the first catalyst to discovering your courage)? It’s what I asked you about at the beginning of this month. I’m not going to ask you that again, today. Instead I’m interested in knowing: What does success mean to you?
When we are aware of the feelings we are going after, when we decide on achieving a certain goal we can plan our route to get there more effectively and get there with fewer hiccups and with more joy.
That is all I have for you today. See you again tomorrow.
