It’s not about where you end up, it’s about what you learn and feel along the way.
We’re aware of what the outside of success looks like.
It’s shiny. Glamorous. Often inspiring and flashy.
The consequences, though, are that the stakes get raised and judgement sets in, the pressure is on, all eyes are on you to keep creating remarkable work, to continue a streak of successes.
But while outside success guarantees inside success, inside success doesn’t guarantee outside success.
A failed product launch may be an inside success: you now know what it takes to launch, what the market looks for, how to communicate with potential investors.
Launching a business may be an inside success (it’s been a dream of yours and you accomplished it… go you), but there is no outside success because the business closed after a month (sorry, keep at it).
The sweetest advice I can give when it comes to outside and inside success is strive for inside success… it’s the best way to ignore the pressures that come from outside success.
Stay Positive & Success Is A Selfish Process, Rightfully So
