Real life situations around me prompted me to make one of my key life decisions: rewriting my definition of success. Instead of acclaim or advancement or achievement, I decided that for me success means having those closest to me love and respect me the most.
If you want to redefine success the way I did, here are some ways to put your decision into practice:
Determine your priorities.
How much of your calendar is devoted to your family and/or close friends? On your budget and to-do list, where do you write in your loved ones? No relationship can survive for long on leftovers.
Decide on your philosophy.
Once your loved ones are a priority, you have to decide together what you want your family to stand for. What values will you live out? For us, the bottom line was to cultivate and maintain:
- Determination to serve God,
- Commitment to God's will
- Diligence in all endeavour
- Continual growth,
- Discipline and
- Contributions to life and lives.
Develop your problem-solving strategy.
In all facets of life, the best plan is to expect problems, stay committed, and develop a strategy for getting through the rough times. Better understanding, Positive change, and Growing relationships are strategies in my opinion.
