🏆How Do You Define Success? Success without Alignment May Just be a Louder Hollow Space...

🔥

According to author Matthew Kelly, success is defined not by external achievements or societal metrics, but by living a life that is in alignment with one's core values and personal purpose, also indicating that success without this alignment is ultimately hollow.

I love the Emerson quote as it really resonates with how I want to show up in the world...especially that last part.

"What is success? To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
