While many people measure their levels of success in money, there is a much more accurate way to measure your performance. There are five ways you can tell that you are successful. If you can tick off at least four out of five, rest assured, you have achieved success in your life.
1. You are confident
You are able to follow your heart, pursue your goals and you never give up on your dreams. You believe you open your "parachute" after you jump - and you don't let anyone tell you to do it differently.
2. You endure and enjoy challenges
Success is never easy, but doing what you love is the easiest hard work in the world. Accept the challenges and also the successes. Be thankful that you can solve problems, and solve them with passion. As you get better, your challenges will grow, so embrace them and your success will continue to grow.
3. You have loved ones and mentors
It's a myth that success is self-made. Nobody is an island. It is a sign of strength, not weakness, to ask for help and support from friends and family. Find and follow the ones who've been there, done it, and make success seem easy. Take their advice.
4. You are happy at work
You have a job that you want and that you can easily get out of bed for. You are also in an industry where you can see future growth.
5. You can give back
You care about people, family, customers and employees, and you share what you have in knowledge and money with them. You make a difference to others and you have others to help you.
