Success is a relative term, meaning achieving it will be different for everyone. The contexts of our lives are so dynamic that they influence our perspectives and choices regarding which paths we choose. Therefore, resulting in the undeniable uniqueness of each person and what success means to each one.
Naturally, while missioning in our appointed lanes, we tend to look to the sides to see how our peers are doing. Thus, sparking curiosity as to whether their success beats ours, which inevitably breeds the nasty cycle of the comparison trap. You ought to remember that your story is not theirs; therefore, your definition of success will not look the same as theirs. With that said, keeping a steady and clear focus on your lane helps to increase your enthusiasm for your own life. It would help if you defined your idea of success with caution since it is your personal view of your transitions from one stage of life to the next. Hence the necessity to stay in your lane and draw your focal point to your advancements without contrasting your accomplishments to another’s.
Additionally, your responsibility is to steward the gifts and talents God has blessed you with. Therefore, you must consistently and intentionally pursue learning new skills or refining your current skills to improve yourself to serve well in your chosen field of work. Essentially, success is an ongoing work in progress – a journey – and not a single destination.
