Are you successful to you?

Success

A word that seems to be in everyones mouths as we grow up. We begin to hear it as children, based on some adult’s promotion, some older cousin who graduated college and scored an internship. Later on, we begin to hear it expected from us, “you would be so successful in this carreer”, “when you graduate you will be so successful”. It’s not that these things aren’t successful accomplishments, it’s who decided they were that person’s success. Is our success measured by others?

I remember thinking “what the hell do they know that is going to make me so successful? I don’t even know!”. I also remember failing so much in college I thought I was never going to see the end of it. I thought to myself, how do i get to this so called success without being miserable?

At that point exactly I understood, first I had to review my definition of success.

We are raised with the notion that success comes with a car, a high paying profession, a diploma, some medals, and let’s not forget all the titles. Who are you if you don’t have any title? Well let me tell you, YOU ARE YOU. And you are already successfull. Nobody needs a diploma, a car or a suit to tell them that.

Right here, right now it’s time to unlearn and re-learn what success means.

Success means living the life you were here to live. Not the one everyone around you told you to live. It does not mean being wealthy, having 30 titles and recognition. Success is a lot deeper than that. It is something you feel within you, a feeling of satisfaction. It is being content with who you have become and where you will go next. It is making a significant change in the world, even if it’s just in one person’s life. It is enjoying the world with all its details. It is getting to know you and your goals, then working hard until you make them happen.

You are the beholder of your success, you need not to look for it elsewhere. Why do we think success is out there to grab? Its in there, I promise. Right next to your talents, your dreams and your love for you.

I invite you to redefine success, give it your own definition and work towards that. Just as the world gets an upgrade every now and then, our perspectives should too.

Not your typical inspirational blog

Sohan Nicole

Welcome to my Wellness blog! I will start by warning you… this will not be your typical motivational website. Here you won’t find articles with the “Top Ten Ways to Burn Fat”, or vegan recipes, or “Five Ways to Learn How to Meditate”. Believe me those are everywhere. Instead I will give you something that no other person can give you. In fact, I am not going to give it to you, because you already have it. The thing is you have just forgotten about it. Instead, I am here to help you recover that something you misplaced. I will help you give yourself the power to be you, the power to be limitless.

Yes, I do mean limitless as in “no limits”. We humans, are limitless. We have the ability to do whatever we feel like. It is obvious most of the time, you know when your mother tells you to complete a certain task and you just don’t. You decide to do whatever makes you happier instead. Or how about when you just don’t do your homework, or you just don’t clean up the house. In these scenarios we do in fact understand very well this concept of doing what pleases US.

Somehow along the way we forget we have this magnificent power. At some point in our lives we go by fulfilling everyones desires but our own. Until, one day we wake up and we find ourselves in a position where we don’t please ANYONE, not even ourselves. We don’t even know what makes us happy anymore.

I am here to tell you to CALM DOWN, you have the control, you can change everything, you can live a fuller, happier, meaningful life. Maybe you haven’t gotten to this dreadful point yet and you are just wondering why nothing that is ahead of you makes you feel motivated or excited. Don’t worry you are just on time. Get ready for what is coming ahead in this blog, and how your perceptions will change!
