I totally agree with this post. I feel like the idea of success changes as you change. Being a teacher you do not get paid more for being more successful than other teachers. I make as much as the greatest teacher and as much as the worst teacher, so my measure of success is based on reaching personal goals with my students and my quest for knowledge. I love my job though so the financial aspects do not matter. I make enough to support my family and live a nice life.
Just recently I've been learning about passive income and I feel like even in that department my measure of success will be more than financial based. Learning new skills that I can teach to my students from these endeavors becomes a part of the success factor. Even on Steemit, I'm learning new things and overcoming obstacles. I spent all day yesterday writing posts and trying out new things on Steemit. I even wrote a post about it.
My post didn't really get much traction but it summed up all the things I learned yesterday and I felt like yesterday was a success even though I don't see much of a financial gain from anything I did.
I think success is achieving personal goals and then building off of those goals, which is basically what you said above. Great post btw!
Great comment @legosnjoysticks!! You got this, like you said you are learning everyday. I just started around 40 days ago. You have a new follower :)
Thank you, I'm in the Steemit Superstars Facebook group as well!
