By aligning with my purpose, I am committing to what?

Redefine success

Society can define success based on the superficial: defining it solely on the bases of what can be acquired, highest salary range, or even title/position. If success is defined based on these criterions, then the chase will always be to gain more, only to spend more. It is acceptable and good business practice to set financial milestones. In fact, established budgets are used as roadmaps towards your destination. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with rewarding yourself after you have reached those milestones. However, when the only motivator is financial it could lead to feeling defeated or empty.

Redefine success milestones by incorporating other markers for success. Ask yourself:

Aside from financial milestones, I feel successful when…?

What aspects of your life can you reclaim by redefining success?

Grow toward success

If you can define success, you can also choose how to measure it. We have established that success does not have to be measured by societal norms but should be measured by what aligns you with your purpose. Based on the reflections above, identify a new goal that you would like to incorporate into the month (or longer) that will allow you to, not only feel successful, but also be successful.

Grow by aligning your goals, redefining success, growing towards your purpose. Ask yourself:

What about this goal truly resonates with me?

If I were to accomplish this goal, how could I assist others around me?

Consistently cultivating,
