Most of us will agree that a successful life is a life lived in accordance
with our wishes, where we can be comfortable in saying that we're proud of our accomplishments
and attainments.
If we take a giant step back
from judgement for a minute and choose to not to give experiences a label of
"good" or "bad" but view them simply as just "experience" (after all that's what humans have come here
for, to "Experience") we could say that we're all successful 100%
of the time.
If we swapped the word successful for words like happy or peaceful we'd be
more able to measure how we feel about our life experiences. By being on the lookout
for how we feel, we can gage immediately whether we're acting in accordance
with our values. Learn to become more emotionally intelligent, use your emotions as a guide.
When living in-line with our
values we tend to feel more comfortable, calm and more in control.
You'll know pretty instantly if what you are doing, thinking or feeling doesn't
respect your values, it's usually where anxiety creeps in. To continue along a path that feels as though it goes
against the grain of who you are, is not advisable if you fancy an
outcome of joy, happiness or peace. Compromising your values creates a bumpy
road ahead. When you know what your values are decision making becomes far
easier.
So to measure personal success be sure to know your core values and your
beliefs about them. Exploring this major part of what makes you tick can be the
difference between making comfortable decisions that are aligned with who you
are and allowing yourself to be swayed by someone else’s ideas.
So in short...to create a successful
life that feels happy, exciting and peaceful, spend some time working out what
makes your heart smile, then consciously and mindfully, be and do whatever
makes your heart smile
