My husband wrote this on my birthday card last September and I want to share it with you.
We spend so much time worrying, wondering “what if I fail”, “what if I don’t earn enough money”, “what will others think of me”, that it paralyzes us and we don’t make changes out fear. We would rather stay stuck doing something that makes us unhappy than exposing ourselves to change.
When in reality the only thing that really matters is asking ourselves : do I live a meaningful life, aligned with my values ? Do I behave like the kind of person I want to be ? Do I get up everyday with a sense of purpose ?
2021 was a year for me where I had to redefine what “being successful” means.
I used to have the idea that being successful means working long hours for a corporation, have a big career, earn a lot of money. I had that, but I was exhausted, living a frenetic life, running everywhere.
Now I realize that I value time and self-care much more than money. That a successful life for me means being present, enjoying the little things, spending time with my loved ones, constantly learning new things, being in nature.
