One of the best ways to cultivate a life of happiness is to measure success according to your own standards.


We can frequently find ourselves gauging success by societal or familiar standards, almost like there's this unwritten script we're following. Yet, it's liberating to pause and recognize that we have the power to shape our own benchmarks. It's about shedding external expectations and embracing the journey of defining success on our own terms.

We sometimes mistakenly believe that money or status is the key to success, when - in reality, the truth is much simpler.


Success unfolds for each of us when we indulge our passions, simply doing what we love and freely embarking on our desired adventures. It is only in achieving our dreams that we find success and as our dreams are unique to us, there’s very little reason to compare them with other people.

So, if your dream is to travel the world, then take that first journey. If you want to be a musician, then play to your heart’s content. Success is embracing your dreams and executing them skillfully; if you can do that, you've truly achieved it! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

We all go through life hoping to find satisfaction, but as I’ve mentioned, there are many false impressions when it comes to happiness. While money and status may be seen as markers of success by some, more often than not, they're simply byproducts that emerge from passionately pursuing what brings you joy, satisfaction, and excelling in it!

Define what success means to you and map out your journey to get there! There are endless possibilities waiting for you. xoxo
