How Do You Define Success in Life

How Do You Define Success in Life - Life Guide PH

I saw this post on Facebook on a peaceful Sunday morning. I thought to myself, do I feel this way too? I tried to ponder where am I now at 26?

As I scroll, I saw people from high school starting their families or getting married, others getting their promotions, and also saw random influencers living their best lives flexing their new luxury handbag.

However, I recalled that their definition of success is different from mine. I don’t want what they have… what I want is to make sure that I’m setting up myself for the greater good during my 20’s and I can enjoy my 30’s living the life that I want.

Define success on your own terms not into what society is telling you.
