Love this! Totally agree on reframing success and ambition beyond work and career. I think a more sustainable approach is to align to more holistic ambitions across personal and professional domains and redefine success with a personal lens. Sure, external validation can matter (we're human after all), but is ultimately out of our control. I find truly sustainable success can be found when we align to what matters most to us personally.
hi Jen. Well said as usual. I appreciate you and your insight, ideas and inspiration. Yes, the work we do to make money and advance in our career is important...so long as you have "arrfYl" as the foundation. arrfYl stands for a radical reverence for Your life...with this as your foundation...you operate in this world with a much different perspective than the masses... God bless....
PS Happy to send you some of my books if you ever want to read them....peace
Thanks for sharing this Jen! Our world today definitely needs more leaders like you to discuss these important topics. I've been thinking about the definition of success for a very long time as I myself have sometimes struggled to fit in and spent energy and time debating whether I'm successful or not. I was able to find an answer to this, which most likely came from my own "sovereign self" and I wrote about it here https://namritanegi.substack.com/p/am-i-successful-no-i-cannot-be
