The Way We Define Success
The way we define success affects the ways we get there. We can define and talk about success in so many different contexts - academically, professionally, socially, economically, and more. As you go through your advancement journey, ask yourself: How do I define success? 

Success Is the Freedom to Choose
I believe that success is defined by the freedom to choose - the freedom to make choices that take you closer to your goals now and in the future, whether it be five or ten years from now. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

• Success is a moving target; when you're at the top of one mountain, you're at the bottom of another one.
• Success is not about the numbers, but what achieving success affords you - the time, choices, opportunities, growth, and freedom to make decisions in alignment with you.
• We need to recalibrate our idea of success away from the numbers, and instead define success as the freedom to choose. What choices are you making to achieve and be the highest version of yourself in five years?
• Success is a continuum; it is not fixed or finite. What choices are you making today that will bring you closer to achieving what you want in five or ten years, and living a life beyond your wildest dreams?
• Making good choices often requires visualization and intention, and you don’t need to have all the answers.
• Ask yourself: How do you feel about what you're doing? Is it in alignment with you?
• Success may also involve regret. Regret is an important indicator that there are lessons to be learned, and can be used to your advantage to propel you forward.
