Defining Your Life

What is life? What does it mean to be a success? What is
winning?

Why all the questions?

Because it's important for you to know the answers. - Not
somebody else's answers. Not the Philosophy 101 textbook
answers. And, of course, looking up the definitions in Webster's
doesn't count. The important answers to these questions, the
best ones, are your answers, your definitions.

When you have your answers to these questions you also have a
framework, a foundation, for your life and what you do with it.
Answering these questions helps you create a benchmark for
determining whether or not you are being true to your self and
really doing the things that bring you joy. If you don't decide
that "Success = XX" then how do you know if you're successful?
If don't decide that "Life is XXXX", how do you know if you're
really living?

If you've already got the answers, consider them closely. Are
they really, truly, 100% yours? If yes, great! If you weren't
the one to create the definition success that you use, who did?
Likewise, if you haven't yet defined it, then whose definition
of life are you following? If it wasn't you, chances are you're
attempting to fulfill somebody else's idea of what success
should be. For most people, that's a direct route to misery.

After all, whose life is it anyway?

If your answer is "It's my life!" then start defining your life
today! Create your personal definition of success. Determine on
your own when and how you'll truly be successful and what your
life will look like each and every day. You'll soon discover
that the more you define your life the more you'll live the fine
life that you truly desire.
