What does success look like for you?
There are so many messages out there,
So many beliefs,
Marketing,
Advertising,
People,
Noise,
Telling you what success looks like.
But success?
Success is different for everybody.
What defines a successful life for you?
What defines a successful relationship,
A successful business,
Career?
What defines successfully parenting your children?
What defines success in your life?
When you strip away the noise,
When you strip away all of the beliefs,
All of the noise,
The words,
The ideas,
The thoughts,
The expectations from others,
From your parents,
From generations past,
From society,
From your friends,
From your family,
From your boss or your co-workers.
When you strip away the noise of people you're connected to on social media,
When you strip away all of that,
What are you left with?
What does success look like?
Is it a feeling that you get?
That allows you to know in a moment that what you are doing is an alignment for your greater vision,
Your purpose,
Your being on this planet right now?
Is it a moment,
An experience that you have?
And when you're in that moment,
In that experience,
Your values,
Your mission,
Your purpose,
Embodies every part of that experience,
And you know that you are being successful right now.
That you are being successful right now.
What does success look like for you?
It could be the people that you surround yourself with.
It could be the environment,
The places that you spend your time,
That you focus your energy,
It could be achieving a particular moment,
A particular experience in your life that contributes to your success.
Success is something that is so deeply personal.
So I invite you to take a moment to breathe deeply in through the nostrils and out through the mouth.
To drop into your body,
Into your breath,
Into your heart.
To radiate out.
To see,
To feel,
To vision what a successful life looks and feels like for you.
What are those markers,
Those guiding points,
Those guiding points for you?
What are those guiding points that allow you to know that you're on track?
That you are living a life that is successful for you.
And any time that you feel that you might be wavering,
That you're uncertain,
Ask the question,
Come back to this question to bring you back.
Whose thought is this?
Does it belong to me?
Is it someone else's?
Is it someone else's idea of success?
Or is this truly my idea of success?
Breathe deeply.
You may like to bring a hand to the heart,
A hand to the belly.
Just to feel that connection with your body.
And it's okay if at first you're not sure what success looks and feels like for you.
Perhaps what comes up is what it's no longer.
Perhaps you uncover what it's like to be successful.
That your definition,
Your idea,
Your belief of success does in fact belong to somebody else.
And if that's the case,
Congratulations.
With this awareness you can let it go.
You can come back to your body,
Your breath,
Your heart,
Your spirit.
And just ask the question,
What does success look and feel like for me?
Knowing that the answers will present themselves,
Trusting in your inner guidance.
To show you the way,
Show you the answers.
Now that you have this awareness,
Now that you've created space.
And now that you are ready to receive.
Pay attention over the coming moments,
Days,
Weeks,
Months.
As you reshape,
Rewrite,
Recreate what success looks like for you.
And any time you need to,
You can revisit this practice.
To tap back in to your energy,
To tap back in to your heart,
Your inner guidance.
To what is a successful life,
How that looks and feels for you.
