I recently attended a networking lunch where the guest speaker asked us all to tell him how we measure our success? Going round the table most of us said money, cars even shoes (that was me though!) The talk he gave was very thought provoking and this week I have done alot of thinking about the way I work. So this weekend my success started when I took Friday off to meet with a friend for a one to one and discuss Marketing (something I have thought about for ages!) I then had my hair done. Both things made me happy and feel that life is going well. Next I was home just as my daughter got in from school and her smiling face out the kitchen window as I pulled up said it all! Because I wasnt working late I was able to do her hair and make-up for the last school disco of her primary years and we had a mini photo shoot too! While she was at the disco I went for a drink with my husband, this would normally be another no no as I would come in late, tired, blah blah blah! This morning I woke up early, pre programmed as I work Saturdays most weeks. But this Saturday is different. Today I got up cleaned the house while breakfast was cooking, went out in the sun and hung out my white washing for the first time this year. A mini haven for me as I watched the cats run up and down the garden path. The rabbit nearly had a heart attack at the idea of getting out of the hutch and did 6 times round the run like he was at silverstone! Later I will be taking my daughter to have her hair done and then its off away for the night. So i guess the moral of this story is yes i could worry about how others see my success, what car I drive, if and when im going on holiday etc etc. However for me today I am measuring my success by all the above and I feel damn successful!! |
