A three-part series
The Meaning of Success
Three reflections on ambition, creativity, and learning to enjoy the life we've created.
Sometimes the smallest moments awaken the biggest questions.
For me, it began with a fortune cookie and a simple message: 'Create your own definition of success; it's personal.'
Those few words led me to reflect on everything I've accomplished, everything I've created, and something I had rarely allowed myself to question.
What if I've spent so much of my life chasing success that I've forgotten to enjoy the life I've been creating?
These three letters explore the beautiful and sometimes complicated relationship between ambition, creativity, fulfillment, and the courage to define success for ourselves.
