Success is an interesting social construct as it can mean different things to different groups
Success is an interesting social construct as it can mean different things to different groups of people but also to different individuals. Let’s take some time to connect with your own understandings of success.
1) What does “success” mean to you? Think about what the idea of success means to you, not what you were told success means. Write down your personal definition of success.
2) Do you consider yourself successful by your own definition? In what ways are you successful? In what ways do you hope to grow in this area?
3) Why do you want to be successful? If no one knew of your success, would it still be worth pursuing?
4) Write down your thoughts. What thoughts do you notice when you ponder about what other people think and expect of you?
5) Listen to the Right Voice. The right voice is the sound of your true self’s inner wisdom, your inner knowing. The inner critic is the voice of others, not the true self. We are not born with the inner critic/saboteur, it develops over time from negative experiences and messages. Write down what you notice about the content and possible source of your inner critic thoughts.
6) Do you observe feelings of guilt and shame? Describe these thoughts and feelings.
7) Do you notice any patterns? Noticing patterns of these emotions is critical for personal growth. And the knowledge of patterns will help you discern when you’re performing for others vs. yourself.
