Umair Haque has just graced me with a relevant post from the Harvard Business Review that struck me on a personal note. My career as well as my time here as a citizen of our wonderful planet has been scrutinized lately. I personally have been challenging myself to question actions, motives, commitment, and direction of what I do in tandem with the perception of success. We’ve been told as Americans that success is amassed through different financial or tangible additions to our lives – when really it’s up to us individually to decide what measures our success. As people we all are equipped with different levels of skills and traits that will never fit into the molds of a societal projection. Without exploration into who and what we are, we’ll always question ourselves.
Here’s a link to one of his latest posts that rang true for me – http://blogs.hbr.org/haque/2011/12/mastering_the_art_of_living_me.html
Explore what makes you think of success outside of what you’re told is successful. If money and fame was not an option – what’s next?
