Take a Break and Think About Life

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we define success. It's amazing the effects the end of the year has on us sometimes, isn't it? Anyways, I digress. What I was trying to say is that so often we equate success with money, titles, status. You know, the kind of success we see depicted on Instagram, Facebook, Tik-Tok, etc.

But if we look closely at the people who actually have that kind of success, more often than not, you realize that their lives aren’t as perfect as they appear. They too carry heavy pressures, difficult trade offs and challenges they try to cover under the facade. We all do, actually.

So I have to take a break and ask myself, Is that really the life I want?

The truth is, many of the things society celebrates aren’t at the top of my personal list. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro achievement. The thing is, when I imagine looking back at my life one day, I realize that I won’t be thinking about my job, titles or achievements. I’ll be thinking about the time spent with my family, friends and the relationships that made life meaningful.

If you are feeling the season blues, you know, that pull between what the world calls “success” and what your heart actually values, take a moment to rethink what success truly means to you. Not the version handed to you but the version that aligns with the life you want to live.

When you look back someday, will it be your achievements you think about or the moments with the people you love?
