HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

How we measure our successes can make or break us. Sometimes we are doing all the right things but the results aren't showing up. For instance, the one many can relate to, weight loss. If you are changing your diet dramatically and sticking to a new exercise routine for weeks and weeks and the scale barely budges, have you been successful? The answer is yes. You made some major lifestyle changes that will pay off in the long run both on the scale and in your health. There is nothing more discouraging, however, than to do all the things that are necessary and not to see visible results either on the scale or even when taking your measurements. Without that visible positive feedback, it's more likely that you will eventually want to give up. That's why we change our measurement of success. Rather than "how many pounds did I lose?", we ask "what are the significant changes I've made?". We often choose criteria for success that will disappoint us, like how much money did we make, what have we accumulated in our lifetime, and so on. If your value is based on your networth, for example, then you can only have value when you are pleased with your networth. If you are looking for ways to measure your own success start with the efforts that you have made rather than the results of those efforts.
