We tend to measure our level of success by our job title and salary. But the magic moments you’ll look back on and be most proud of later in life usually have very little to do with either. My favorite magic moment story comes from Maurice Sendak, who wrote and illustrated the book Where the Wild Things Are. Once Sendak received a letter with a charming little drawing on it from a boy named Jim.  In return, Sendak drew a Wild Thing on a card and sent it to the boy. A few weeks later, he received a letter from Jim’s mother that said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” “That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received,” Sendak recalled. “He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.” So when you evaluate where you are or where you’re headed, make sure that you’re not just thinking of titles and salaries. How you spend your time, whether or not you like what you’re doing, your health, if you’re creating something that a little kid might one day love so much that they eat it, those are better measures of success.
