Success

What is success?

It's definitely something I pray to achieve, but also subjective.

What does success mean to me? How far am I willing to go to reach the many milestones I have planned for my future?

Success is such a wide and variable definition; I can only speak from my own heart of what this sole word means to me.

Completing Meeting Egypt, was once the only thing I needed to complete to feel successful. I wrote a complete book. Next was posting and sharing the world, allowing myself to be subjugated to others' opinion and criticism.

Realizing that I grew with every review, that was my next notion of success. I was a learning artist, eager to bare more.

Creating an account and realizing that traditional publishing is not the only option. Coming to terms that it takes time to create, perfect and sale your work became my sole mission.

I've published and began advertising and started to plan out my next milestone, what is next is something I've always asked myself. That is until I realized, it's OK sometimes to be stagnant and exist.

If I continue to push myself, ill only reach my burn out quicker. I don't want to do that, I have to remember that the point of doing what I love I want to share with everyone. If I begin to despise my art, who am I?

Now, I've allowed myself to share a different and deeper perspective of myself, I'm going to allow myself to be in this moment. I need to wallow in this moment, I've published my first book and it's being loved. I've signed three copies and I'm perfecting my autograph because I'm manifesting success for myself.

I will be successful at my own terms because success to me is being authentic in every sense of me.

I can only define success by my own terms and that's perfectly fine.

How do you define success?
