I'm constantly asking myself that question and I think that maybe I'm closer to find the answer. I'm the past I thought that success was totally related with big amounts of money, but after seeing how people can earn money but still being unhappy, I start doubt about that. Right now for me the word success means having a dream, pursuit and make it real. Even though it exist a possibility that you fail in the process, that fail should give you the courage to keep going and trying again and again. My sister has always told me that failing make the success more enjoyable and I think that's true. Because after all, the failures that you can have on the road of pursuing your dream, it would help you to be one step closer of make it possible.
With this I'm not saying that every time I fail I feel happy, that would big a HUGE lie! at the beginning I feel as a completely loser, I cry and I think that keep do it this is just a waste of time. But after "Going home," like Elizabeth Gilbert said on her TED presentation, I think of the situation more with my brain instead of my heart and I find myself trying again.
How do I deal with success? Wow, that's a hard question. I think that in this moment I haven't had achieved my dream. Of course I have done some things that have made me happy: getting my degree, live alone in Barcelona. But I consider this events like single steps to finally achieved my goal: work in something that I love or to love my job, whatever it comes first.
See you soon!
P.d: If you can dream it, you can do it ;)
Nice. Having a dream and enjoy the way seems quite good advise. Thank you!
