"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it." - Maya Angelou When it comes to working towards our goals how we measure the success of our work is an important aspect of it, how else would we know if we have made it? I think I have found the perfect metric for the job and it has to do with whether we like ourselves, what we do and how we do it in the process as Maya put it. Whatever you'd like to achieve in your life, you have to be able to do it from a place of love, out of liking yourself and liking it for you. It may not be fun but you have to at the very least like the process, and the sacrifices you have to make to achieve it. How you do things is also attached to your identity - and no, habits and coping mechanisms you picked up as trauma responses don't count as part of it. Those are development areas, they might influence how you do things but we might want to work them out before they turn into stumbling blocks (if they aren't already). Do you like how you do the things you've set out to, your strategies, preferences or order of getting things done? That makes your work (whatever it is) unique to you and I hope you appreciate it for the diversity and creativity it contributes to the world. Enjoy the episode...  ✨ IG: @dontoverthinkit.podcast
