Lately I’ve been facing the question of what success would look like for me. As in: if I were to accomplish everything I want in life, right here and right now, what would that look like? How would I feel? What would I think? What would I do with my life at that point?

All of these questions are more than important and more than crucial to ask ourselves going forward in our day-to-day battles. So I want to invite you today on a thought-provoking quest, asking some crucial questions that will ultimately give you clarity in your life.

Quote 1:

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

- Maya Angelou (Poet, Activist, Icon)

I feel like tackling the topic of success has to start with defining the mental state of mind with yourself, first of all. What I mean by this is the simple concept of liking yourself. Sounds easier than it is, but think about it for a moment. How much more or less will you like yourself if you attain that which you deem to be success? If you are in a better position in the company, will you like yourself more? If you are richer, will you like yourself more? Are those the true needle-movers for self-liking?

And now, if you like yourself, you should also like what you do and how you do it. I heard someone say not long ago that success in life is being happy to leave home to go to work and happy to leave work to come back home. Such a nice sentence!

Quote 2:

“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”

- Warren Buffett (legendary investor, Berkshire Hathaway chairman)

It took me a long time in my life to understand this… The true power of saying ‘no’ to things. In a world abundant with distractions, options, and opportunities, it is not the ‘yes’ that is the step towards success, but keeping your head clear about what is truly important and learning to say ‘no’ to things, events, and people who are not walking the same path you want to take. Start saying ‘no’ more often, and start enjoying the clarity in your life.

Quote 3:

“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.”

- Seneca (Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman)

Direction.
Direction.
Direction.

So simple, yet so often forgotten. Not knowing where you are going and what you want out of life will lead you nowhere. And this is true regardless of your real potential and capabilities. Make sure you don’t just drift through life randomly. Define where you want to go and what you want to achieve. Define your path. Define your legacy.
