Lets Move Beyond Traditional Definitions of Success

“It’s time to move away from the demands of others—and the definitions given to us by those others around success. By focusing on putting together the unique combination of things that provide fulfillment to create the perfect life that’s right for each individual, it is easier to put down the things that make our life load heavy.” -Bronwen Sciortino, Forbes Councils Member “Five Types Of Personal And Professional Fulfillment And How To Gain Them”

I love how she said, putting together the unique combination of things that provide fulfillment! That is exactly the trick. It’s not just focusing on one thing that fulfills you. It’s really sitting down and thinking about the things that you can do for hours and not once think about the time. It’s the things that wake you up in the morning or keep you up at night. Those challenges that you keep facing even when it’s really not looking good. Make a place for the ones that light you up the most and let the rest go.

Here’s the article if you’re interested in reading more about the different types of personal fulfillment. I think this is worth journaling about in this wonderful month of August. I believe it’s the perfect time to weigh your priorities.

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
