Defining Success for Yourself

Your happiness and your mental health go hand-in-hand. Your identity is essentially who you are and what you stand for in your life. It’s all about how you define yourself, as your identity is merely a sum total of your beliefs.

When you really discover who you are and begin living by it, your entire life will change. To make your ultimate vision happen, you need to grow and improve who you are – you need to become the type of person that can make your dreams a reality. It all begins with defining who that person is, who you ultimately want to be in this life.



Many persons find themselves making everyone happy besides their self, year in year out. Meditation and evaluation will help you rethink if this makes miserable or know let your voice shine. Here are some don’t to watch out for;

1. Don’t surrender your happiness in order to make someone else happy while you are depressed.

2. Don’t give into people’s requests who would never lift a finger for you.

3. Don’t say YES when all you want is to say NO. Don’t put yourself through that self-inflicting torture anymore because you matter.

4. Don’t do anything that doesn’t inspire you to live a better life. Don’t do anything that drains you more than it fulfills you. If you are working a job that is making you miserable, a job that literally makes you want to break down in tears before you go because you hate it so much –

5. Don’t you think it is time to quit? Yes “jobs are scare” and you have bills to take care of. Is mortgaging your self-worth worthwhile? If you hate your job that much then there is no point in continuing to do it. Look for another job, look anywhere else that you think would make you happier. Start searching now. Your happiness is important; you shouldn’t constantly put it on the back burner for a paycheck or to make others happy.


6. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself that you fail to take care of yourself, that you wind up sick and mentally drained

7. Don’t torture yourself in this way because no amount of money is worth this self-inflicting pain. Find the things that make you smile and keep doing them. Cherish the things that make you feel loved and don’t ever let them go. Hold on to the moments that make your stomach ache from so much laughter and don’t ever take them for granted. Life is good, life is so good as long as you allow it to be.

8. Don’t dwell on the negatives, laugh off the disasters and turn your attention to the good. If it won’t matter a couple years from now it’s nothing to stress yourself out about even if it feels like the world is crashing down at you in the moment, just know it will pass.

9. Don’t be afraid to try something new because the worst that happens is you fail, but at least you’re trying, at least you’re doing something to better yourself. Life is meant to be lived, it’s meant to be enjoyed because there are millions of things to be seen and happy about, but we often only experiences a sliver of them.

10. Don’t neglect your mental, social, physical and spiritual health. Make yourself the center of your world and care for yourself the way you care about the people you love. Go the extra mile you’ve gone for so many other people in your life, but this time go the distance for yourself.

You deserve that. Beat burnout by making more time for the activities and people that matter most to you- Excepts from pubmeb
