Defining Success: 3 Steps to a Happier Life

Happy customer

In a world with so many coulds, woulds, shoulds and wants, how do you know how to select what’s best for you—what will make you successful?

Is it being way rich, way famous, way beautiful or way powerful? Or is something that comes from the inside? Here’s how you tell:

  • First, complete this sentence: “I know how successful I am by how _________(fill in the blank).” It’s important that you use this exact sentence structure and these words, because this will help you know not only how you define success for yourself, but when you are being successful.
  • Next, tweak your answer until you feel a tingle—and you know you’ve written what you truly believe. Here’s another place some coaching can help, but you can also do it yourself if you give it time and focus.
  • Finally, start living in a way that has you doing the thing that makes you feel successful. Notice how having this statement in writing starts to tug you in small—or even significant—ways toward doing what makes you feel the best.

Do this exercise for three things that make you feel successful…and you will become more and more successful every day.
