I thought success was straightforward. Success was making more money. Success was having your own business. Success was doing what you loved. I was successful when I got promoted. I was successful when I set out on my own. I was successful when I got to speak. But, if this is what success looked like... Then why didn't "success" lead to contentment? Why didn't it satiate me? As I've started to discover... These highs are only temporary. The mind catches up too fast. A promotion becomes old news. Having a business starts to feel normal. Even doing what I love, slowly becomes less exhilarating. The magic always fades. And then I start chasing a new version of "success." But what if success isn't somewhere in the future? What if success is right here in the now? And what if being successful, as Eckhart Tolle says, is as simple as living in the present moment? Maybe success is listening to each click of my keyboard. Maybe success is being fully in this moment rather than striving for something beyond it. It's not some elusive thing that you'll experience in the future. Success is right here, right now. The more you settle into this moment, the more successful you are. Because it's in this moment that you'll live your entire life. There's nowhere else to be.
