Society wants you to believe that in order to gain success that others need to view you as successful. This is a false pretense.
Appropriate goal setting is less about WE and much more about ME. Once you yourself are able to accurately set the goalpost for success; and ultimately achieve that upper bound. You find that the limiting factor of success all along; was you.
Having found a success you learn to only seek within for the next appropriate goalpost and forgive yourself when it wasn’t appropriate enough.
