Below is the audio for today's call on Defining Success by Your Standards.
Success = Happiness The mistake made by so many people is that they think that Success BRINGS Happiness. Instead, it's important to define success by your standards, not those imposed by society, your next door neighbor or what you were taught in school. If I listened to what was taught in my school, today I would be an elementary school teacher, and that would not be my path to success.
I spoke to a young women the other night who was a freshman in college, and when asked her major her response was risk management. It seemed incongruous, so I asked what made her choose that. Her answer startled me, although it shouldn't have. It seems that one of her parents researched good careers, and chose that for her. She had no idea what it entailed, or even if it held any interest. But that was the path she was on. I suggested that while she was in college she explore some alternatives, just in case that wasn't the right path for her.
You get to choose. You have the right to choose.
We also discussed making small changes in your life to start making success happen. Listen in.
