What Is Your Definition Of Success? feat. Chris Hau, Atola Visuals, Sidney Diongzon, & Lucy Martin
what is up people Dunna here and today I want to talk about success if you're new
to the channel if you're a new subscriber if this is your first time
watching welcome thank you so much for coming if you have fun here make sure to
subscribe to the channel give these videos a thumbs up and know that you're
contributing to what I consider my success recently my channel just passed
2,000 subscribers and it absolutely blows my mind to think that there are
2,000 people out there somewhere that decided they liked my content enough
that they would actually click the subscribe button but this got me started
thinking and it made me ask myself the question what is your definition of
success does it mean how many likes I get on a video or an Instagram post does
it mean the amount of subscribers or followers that I'm getting does it mean
that I'm just waking up every morning with a healthy body and a family that I
love success can mean so many different things and as I started to dive into
this I started realizing that what I truly believe is that success is
different for everybody everybody has their own definition of what success is
to them so before I tell you exactly what I think success is and what success
means to me I'd like to share some other perspectives with you this week I
reached out to a bunch of other creators on YouTube who I really look up to
people who I think are doing successful things on YouTube maybe they just hit
some milestones or maybe they're just on a path that definitely seems like
they're a successful type of person so I reached out to these creators and I
asked them to send me a clip of them talking about what success means to them
first of all huge thank you to everyone that got involved means a lot to me make
sure to check out these people's channels they're all amazing creators
and definitely worth heading over all their links are gonna be in the
description and without further rambling on here's what some of my fellow
creators said about success
CHRIS HAU
okay so you asked what is my definition of success
and I apologize if this is windy because I'm shooting it on a phone right now but
my definition of success is kind of about freedom and the whole idea is that
if you get to do what you love every single day you're not tied down you can
spend it with the people that you want that is my definition of success that is
the thing that I'm ultimately chasing all the time whether it's being an
entrepreneur videographer creating the content that I want obviously there's
give and take sometimes you have to take on those jobs but ultimately my version
of success in the days where I feel most successful is when I'm doing everything
I love with the people that I love
Kitty - Atola Visuals
So what does success mean to me having a love sack to sit on for one I'm just
kidding but for real success to me means several different things the first one
is definitely having your health not only your physical health but also your
mental health having confidence yourself loving who you are being proud of what
you do and where you come from next for success I believe in having good
connections with people so your friends and your family just maintaining those
relationships and having loved ones surrounding you and supporting you with
everything you do don't keep around toxic people because they will put you
down they'll make you feel like shit and successful people normally don't have
people like that in their lives success is also about having a safe home life
not a lot of people have a secure home clean fresh water sometimes they gotta walk
for a mile sometimes people are homeless so just having a roof over your head and
feeling safe is pretty important financial freedom is very important
especially in this world unfortunately it is run by money so just being able to
pay your bills on time not having debt is super successful pretty
self-explanatory just being able to buy the things that you need not buy the
things that you want that's just a luxury but having the ability
to buy things that you need pay for your medical bills pay for your bills
pay for your mom's Mother's Day gift if you need to not have to worry about oh
shoot I got to dip into my savings account some people don't even have the
savings account and that's scary and last I think lastly for success just
having a purpose in your life whether that's saving lives giving back to the
community artists we like to have a creative outlet and just being able to
create maybe your inventor and you want to invent something important for the
world and having all those together makes to me a successful life I'm kitty
if you didn't know thanks for letting me be a part of this is an awesome project
alright later bye, peace, mmm done
Sidney Diongzon
okay here we go so so success is a funny thing it's I mean we
all like to set goals for ourselves and you know we work hard to achieve these
goals and once we achieve that certain goal there's going to be another thing
that we're gonna want to achieve another level of success and so I don't think
success is meeting that one particular goal because it's just a never-ending
cycle and so for me a success means finally being at a level of contentment
with who you are as a person and where you're at in life if you end up doing
something that you love doing and you're happy and and and life feels so complete
then that to me is the definition of success and so it's not you know
attaining a certain level amount of money or a job or whatever because again
that just never ends in this never-ending cycle but it's just your
personal level of contentment is what I think true success is
Lucy Martin
hey Dunna so you asked what does success mean to me and to me success is about
momentum and drive and enjoying the journey and I say that because setting
goals is great but you know what happens the second you reach one of your goals
the second you set a new goal for yourself something harder and tougher a
new thing to accomplish and so when we hit a goal we actually spend very little
time actually feeling successful and a sense of achievement about it and
because we're human we're just hardwired to want more to push ourselves to that
next level so what does that tell me it tells me that actually success is in the
journey success is in the journey of learning and evolving and growing and
pushing yourself to do better and to be better so if you're doing that already
if you're taking one foot and putting it in front of the other and going after
what you really want in life there you have it you are successful so keep at it
and and you'll get where you want to go all right I hope that helped a little
bit peace
so as you can see everybody kind of has their own individual look at
what success is and I think that's amazing because we all get to define who
we are as a person and so why shouldn't we be able to define what success is for
us so I guess that makes it my turn to answer the question what is your
definition of success success to me is pretty much the same as saying progress
recently my wife Megan and I have been watching the show lost again and the
other night there was an episode and one of the characters said something that
really stuck with me he said it only ends once anything that happens before
that is just progress and for some reason this just really stuck in my head
and I think it really relates to my idea of success are you getting closer to
being the person that you want to be as long as you're making progress
I consider that success one of my favorite quotes about success that
pretty much sums up the way I feel about it is from Maya Angelou and she said
success is liking yourself liking what you do and liking how you do it
first of all this is an amazing quote and it's super motivational second of
all I like the way that it's phrased because it sets you up to think about
success as something that's ongoing every day you can wake up and look at
yourself and decide am i successful and define it based on those things do you
like yourself do you like what you do and do you like how you're doing it if
you can say yes to all three of those things then you are successful but it's
something that you need to maintain throughout it's not about achieving
goals it's not about followers and likes and money and all that kind of stuff
it's do you like yourself do you like what you're doing and do you like how
you're doing it again I'd like to say a huge thank you
to all the other creators who got involved with this video they're all

the email address that's at the bottom of the screen right now it's also going
to be in the description and I'm just gonna throw together a supercut of what
everybody says their definition of success is like I said before one of my
favorite things about the definition of success is that it's a little bit
different for everyone so I'm really excited to see what you guys think the
definition of success is I'm gonna give you guys about a week to get these
submissions in so make sure you get on it quick send it to that email address

P.S. Dunna um there is like a weird festival going on and literally since I

fix that hopefully it's not too bad
