I was just sent a message from Felice Hernandez who you all know as a leader in our community and wonderful singer and entrepreneur. Part of it was a quote she saw stating, “Success is wanting to be where you are.” The one question I always ask in my new podcast is “have you made it?” What is success for you?
As expected it is never making millions, getting a #1 hit, having all of the praise and adoration from friends or fans. It is being ok in the moment and knowing that where you are, that’s where you want to be. Thank you Felice for sending that! I have to remind myself daily that I have made it. Or as Randy Taylor said in his interview, “I am making it.”
I encourage you to ask yourself if you’d made it. And hopefully you’ll reassess what that really means. Is what you are striving for what you really want? And for those of us who are older and have attained many of those goals we wanted, did getting to that goal give you what you thought it would? Or was the journey what really mattered and all of the opportunities it brought through experience, friends, travel, etc.
Have you made it? Hopefully you “are making it!”
