For me, success means a better work-life balance. I know this is cliche, but I have worked very hard for all of my life. I am not looking for pity. I am looking for success to allow me to take some time away from work.
When our work is the priority, it becomes all-consuming, and it is hard to find the time we need for ourselves and our families away from work. Once we make it a priority to create a balance in favour of these things, we find that our work time gets better compartmentalised and we still get what needs to be done, done, and magically, we are still able to create the time for ourselves we desire. I think we just become better organised. 😊
Success is subjective and hard to define because it is so personal. I had a successful career, in some circles I would be regarded as wealthy and I am certain very happy. I don’t feel successful in myself though and I do put that down to passion.
My career was a job not a vocation like the CEO’s sister had in teaching. Now I am a life coach and writing on Substack, I feel more aligned and passionate about what I am doing. This, to me feels more like the road to success.
I completely get that Sue. I have known many who have had long and what many might think to be ‘successful’ careers, but, they simply weren’t happy! So is that successful? And you are right, the definition of success is such a personal thing and varied. I’m so happy to see that you have found something you love doing now. And by the way, it really shows! 😊
