Let’s Redefine What Success Looks Like

Who decided that making money is the ultimate metric of success? Honestly, having a physical body that is able to move, walk, talk, photograph, and do the things that you want to do with your day is the ultimate luxury. Health is true wealth—the ultimate sign of success, and the only thing worth considering.

Time is also interesting. We always use the notion of “spending time.” But what if we reframe this idea and start investing our time? Investing in walks, creating art for the simple sake of it—where the outcome and the goal do not need monetary gain or fame.

The outcome we seek and strive for is simply to be awake. To be receptive. To have senses that allow us to feel deeply and see clearly.

When you wake up with this insatiable love for life and enthusiasm for the day, when you’re full of an abundance of curiosity and gratitude for the simplest pleasures in life—like the sun on your skin, or the crisp, cool breeze by the riverside, or water in your cup—you begin to realize that this is what ultimate looks like.
