ILLUSION of SUCCESS ~

path to success has merit, not the goal..

Pursuing success may appear dazzling on the outside, but it can leave you feeling hollow on the inside. Your epiphany could lead to a substantial shift in your approach to your goal and daily life. Instead of focussing on what others believe to be success, investigate how your life contributes to your meaningful  identity.

It's only the status that discreetly generates adoration from others, and it's a definition of success that only requires ticking off all the boxes on a hypothetical checklist. Remember that simply focussing on the concept of traditional success will not lead to success, regardless of whether you establish high  criteria or measure your worth by ticking off boxes on an imaginary checklist.

In general, you hear phrases like if you work hard, you'll be happy, or success is the path to a fulfilling life. It may make sense initially, but with time, your passion may become a  relentless fixation that ignores your well-being and even causes you to feel disconnected from your genuine self.

This begs the question of whether you are genuinely living your life as you intended??

I believe that this constant questioning, which should make you understand that you are craving praise and acceptance from others, will not result in the long-term sense of fulfilment you desire. It would be more akin to flinging your energies into the vacuum or altogether abandoning your ambitions.

You may periodically wonder if you're going in the correct direction or feel disoriented. You  may also realise that you've let other people's exaggerated notions of success trump your own principles. I promise you that only this moment of honesty will reveal the uncomfortable truth about lacking a deeper sense of purpose.

Furthermore, transitioning from a success-focused to a meaning-focused mindset requires introspection, which takes time unless you know how to nourish your soul and let go of your ego. Recognising your quiet times allows you to reflect and relate to achievement in the traditional sense.

Determine whether you are clinging to any limiting beliefs that are encouraging you to pursue an external goal of achievement. Never doubt your talents; your inner voice is an unwavering guide who will help you prove yourself. Avoid keeping habits that are no  longer beneficial to you or are unproductive for the  rest of your life.

Never pass judgement based on a script that associates achievement with your deservingness; instead, listen to your inner voice, which feels important rather than what appears impressive. Make a slight modification to allow a more real version of yourself to emerge.

Rest assured that if you choose to prioritise meaning above accomplishment and use those times when you feel a sense of purpose into opportunities to reflect on your feelings and thoughts without fear of criticism, your perspective will shift. While achieving a professional milestone is vital, it should not be the exclusive source of self-esteem. You should also be worried about the opportunities for personal growth.

Allow yourself to escape the comfort zone that formerly confined you to a narrow concept of success. You can add significance to your  regular events in a variety of ways. Clarifying what is truly important and then allowing those concepts to develop in real-world ways throughout your own journey is good.

It's best to use successful tactics that include reflecting on your passions and guiding values. Being honest about what genuinely important allows you to focus on what speaks to your deepest self and diverts your attention away from trivial aspirations.

Regardless of how many milestones you reach, there always seems to be one more to come. If you are a moving target who appears to be gaining success, you cannot quickly jump off. Allowing yourself to fail, rest, and experiment without feeling guilty is essential for living a meaningful life.

Find a source of energy for enduring contentment that cannot be matched by awards or titles, and make room for what speaks to you deeply.
