How Do You Measure Success

Hey Love,

I was thinking the other day about our need or desire for evidence that it’s all working out. We want to feel like we are on the right path in pursuit of whatever our goals may be - health, relationships, professional success, etc. It feels so good to know that our hard work is paying off.

And while the big promotion, new relationship status or dropping of 10lbs represents tangible and celebration-worthy proof, for parts of our transformation journey, the shifts can be slower and much more subtle. But that doesn't mean that progress isn’t happening.

What if we changed our “required evidence” to be so much smaller?! We would always see and feel that it is working out. If we viewed each minor shift as a major accomplishment, we would create a wider field of opportunity and a beautiful feedback loop of empowerment, encouragement and positivity.

So here are some questions to ask yourself while you are setting and pursuing your goals, while aiming for the tiniest, most accessible, easiest-to-achieve answers:

What is the evidence I need to believe that change is happening?

Is this something I need to physically see or will feeling/knowing it suffice?

Do I need others to notice or can I be internally satisfied?

How often do I need to see or feel this hit of approval or satisfaction?

When will I know that I’ve achieved my goal or successfully arrived at the next milestone?

If we are going to play the roles of Judge and Jury (and even Sentencer!) of ourselves, we should at least know what proof we would accept. The lower our bar is set, the more proof we will find, the better we will feel, the more motivated we will continue to be and the more likely we are to find success. And that is how you bring your future desires into the present timeline.
