That Feeling of "I Made It"

Everybody has different goals and aspirations in life and therefore success means very different things to each person. For most people, to be "successful" in the broadest sense, a host of different things must be achieved. Perhaps success to you is having children who are grown up to be good people and pursuing philanthropic endeavors like starting a non-profit, and owning a company. Or perhaps success to you simply means owning that Lamborghini you always wanted. Success means different things to different people.


Now this is an exercise somebody had me do a while ago, and it was a million times tougher than I had originally thought. It goes like this...


Imagine yourself in the future. If you were to take a snapshot photo of yourself at a time where you can stand up tall and say "I made it" or "I did it", what would that snapshot photo look like? To the best of your ability, what would the photo of yourself as a "success" look like?

Maybe it's you standing outside at a park teaching your grandson how to fish with your family all smiling in the background. Maybe the best snapshot of success to you is standing outside that building with your name on it...a successful company you built from nothing and turned into a multi-million dollar enterprise in the background.


What does YOUR snapshot look like?


Hope this exercise helps people determine what is REALLY important in life
