Question #16 - 1 more left!
Question#16 Do I see success as a lavish banquet or a scarce commodity? When a good friend triumphs - do I feel depleted - as if there are a limited number of successes to go around? Is it possible to turn my envy into "this means I can do it" feeling?
Yes, I know it has been forever since I started this but there is only 1 more left!
So bear with me.....
I firmly believe that success has a different meaning for everyone.
For some people - success is going a day without a cigarette. For others it's getting a position in upper management with a Fortune 500 company.
It all depends on what makes you happy. I believe that happiness is success. As long as I'm happy I'm successful.
I definitely have a "this means I can do it" attitude. I have been in positions where things seem so far away or unattainable at the time, but when friends or colleagues make it possible - it seems more real and attainable.
You can have a million dollars and a very important job with a big company and still be unhappy, but there will be people, maybe even those closest to you who think you have no reason to be unhappy, because you are their idea of "successful."
You just have to go with your gut and do what's right for you. Whatever makes you happy makes you successful.
