Hi I'm Lennis a wellness engineer if this is your first time here welcome make sure you subscribe to
the channel and hit the bell so you get notified when I publish new videos every week and if you're
a returning member of the community thank you again for being here in this space we talk about
strategies and ways that you can reflect in your own life so you can let go of all the chaos and
all the stress that may be part of your day-to-day life so you my darling can have more impact
fulfillment and enjoy each and every day to the fullest because you truly deserve it.
Okay let's talk about success because this is one of those words that we
are constantly seeing everywhere and a lot of times the messages that we receive in regards
to success is more specifically with money, for example if we see a title that says this movie
was a huge success we know that it's all about how much money it made and how many people watched
it or I recently saw something about this specific entrepreneur who made
millions and here are his tips on how he was successful on making millions.
A lot of times we tend to confuse success with financial abundance, wealth, or simply feeling
rich but if you look at the pure definition of success if you go to the dictionary or Google,
what you will find is that it talks about the accomplishment of a purpose or a goal.
In my case, I like to think about success from the perspective of the definition and the part
of the definition specifically that talks about purpose. Are my daily actions in alignment with
my purpose? and does /do these actions make me feel successful and I love to quote um the
bestseller book Atomic Habits from James Clear which is a fantastic book in case you haven't
gotten it and he talks about how to turn instant gratification to your advantage and use that
pretty much to define success for you. So the vital thing in getting a habit to stick
is to feel successful even if it is in a small way, the feeling of success is a signal
that your habit paid off and that the work was worth the effort
As you see the action leads to this feeling of success and it doesn't have to be huge,
it doesn't have to be a monetary uh exchange for you to have this feeling of success.
The other book that I want to recommend you when it comes to thinking about success in life and
defining success is Everything is Figureotable by the incredible my incredible mentor Marie
Forleo and she talks about how to increase your odds of success by 42 percent so it says it
shows that you're 42 more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down and this was done
um from a study from Dr Gail Matthews. In a way a key to successful life can boil down to
clarity, to your systems, and to the recognition of this feeling. Many times we are so stuck in
the doing and seeking the accomplishment that we forget to sit in the feeling and the enjoyment of
having succeeded in accomplishing those tasks. So now from this perspective what does success
look like for you? if you want to share it in the comments that would be amazing as well.
In my case success now looks completely different to what i thought it was going to be in my 20s
for me a successful life means that I have been maintaining healthy habits including my meditation
practice every morning i am eating foods that are nurturing I am spending time with my loved ones
and I am also spending time in my day-to-day life doing things that are in alignment with my purpose
and that's why I love that in the pure definition of success there is no talk or mention of
making x amount of money becoming a millionaire or having fame even though for some people that may
actually bring them a feeling of success if they are a public figure if they become an influencer
but for me specifically when I sit down and I define success in life it's about this micro
actions it s about this micro moment every day that inspire me to feel joyful to feel fulfilled
and to really end the day thinking to myself I accomplished things that were in alignment with
my purpose therefore I feel that I'm successful So I mentioned two books that can be an incredible
resource for you to define success in your own life and I will leave the details on
these books in the description below Okay so I hope that this video is helping you find
a new perspective. In no way shape or form am I saying that wealth or feeling financially stable
does not bring you a feeling of success I think it's just different parts of your life, for me
before I was able to retire from engineering I had to achieve that financial stability in order to
feel successful with that part of my life so then I could lean into my purpose and find the actions
and fill my time with things that truly align with the work that I love and want to do.
