I have yet to attend a networking event or random introduction where I've encountered anyone, upon the initial exchanging of pleasantries, to share openly, about who they actually are, opposed to what it is that they do in life.
I am taking for granted here that one of our primary goals in life is to be liked and ultimately accepted by others.
I wonder what would happen if we were to exchange our cultural norm of defining ourselves to others by disclosing 'the things that we do', with simply defining ourselves to others by disclosing 'who we actually are'?
If this was to become a new cultural habit, would this mean that in turn, people would become more congruent and effective in their relationships and throughout the other most important areas of our lives?
There's 1,000,001 definitions of success available to us in offline and online, however I wonder that if we were to learn how to clearly define who it is that we are as Human Beings, opposed to building our personal standards upon the things that we do as Human Doings, would this leave people available to live more confident and stress free lives?
In today's Vlog, I've attempted to share a number of stories about the damaging nature of seeking success within itself if within itself as I look at an interview that was carried out with Madonna a number of years ago, in relation to her quest for success and in turn the problems she encountered whilst doing this.
There is nothing wrong with being successful in life, as long as you have your own definition of it and NOT someone else's!
