What price are you paying?

We talk a lot about being successful here.  Hopefully, by now, you can see that I do not advocate working 80 hours a week.  Work hard – work all the time you work.  And, if you want it bad enough, working longer than 40 hours a week is a good idea.  

There are seasons of life.  In the spring you can work quite long if you have a passion and dreams and ambitions.  If you have a gift, you must give it.  Remember to pay attention to what work is doing to you, and you will learn a lot, and be better prepared to be happy in the future.

Remember to define success by what fills your soul and makes you happy.  Don’t let society or others tell you what or who you should be or what success is.  Try things out, and follow what feels right for you.

There’s a stereotype by many that very successful people are uncaring of others, only care about money, and have paid too high a price for their success.  While there are some who will fit that description, most don’t.  Stereotypes are never accurate no matter what group they refer to.

The goal of life is to be happy and fulfilled by being the best version of you, now and not later.  This is why you pursue “success”. 

Chase your dreams in a way where you can do that.
