so true and so valid

I like the message in this post - money/ job title don't equal happiness or health. If education/ society focused more on the other aspects, I wonder how much happier, healthier, productive, content and successful people would be? Just think how many people work themselves to the bone, retire and pass away shortly afterwards - was it worth it? What are your thoughts? How do you measure success? #wellbeing #mentalhealthmatters #success

It's a learning process 💙🩵

In a world obsessed with material achievements, it's time to redefine success. Success isn't just about the size of your bank account, the car you drive, or the title on your business card. It's about something far more profound - it's about your mental well-being, the love you give and receive, your physical health, the meaningful connections you nurture, and the serenity you find in the chaos of life. 1. Mental Health Matters: True success begins with a healthy mind. It's about finding peace amidst the storms, managing stress, and embracing self-love. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 2. Love Is the Ultimate Currency: Love fuels the soul. It's not just about romantic love; it's about compassion, empathy, and kindness. Success is measured by the love you share, the smiles you bring, and the hearts you touch. 3. Physical Well-being: Your body is your temple, and taking care of it is a true mark of success. Nourish it with good food, exercise, and sufficient rest. A healthy body empowers you to pursue your passions and live your dreams. 4. Meaningful Connections: Success is about the quality of your relationships. Cultivate deep, meaningful connections with others. Invest time in your friendships, cherish your family, and be present in every moment with your loved ones. 5. Time for Connection: In our busy lives, taking time to connect with people is a true luxury. Success is having the time to sit down with a friend, listen to their stories, and share your own. It's about fostering real connections in a world that's increasingly digital. 6. Serenity in the Chaos: Amidst life's challenges, finding inner peace is the epitome of success. It's about accepting what you cannot change, finding strength in adversity, and being content with the present moment. Remember, success is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It's deeply personal and unique to each individual. So, let's celebrate our victories, no matter how small they may seem, in these aspects of life. Together, let's redefine success and create a world where self-worth triumphs over material pursuits. 🌟 #RedefiningSuccess #MentalHealthMatters #LoveIsKey #HealthyLiving #MeaningfulConnections #SerenityInChaos 🌟

Right measure for success

Your family, friends and relationships are what grounds you in life and remind you that you are not your job. Your title, salary, company, or industry do not define you. The quality of your life, the meaningfulness of your relationships, the way others feel about you and you feel about them - these are the things that are most important.

How much do you expect you salary to be ?

What role does your job title and salary play in your life? Beyond work, what is it that really matters for you? We all have our own definition of success.... And the question is what that looks like for you. So what can you do with this? Here are few simple and powerful steps: 1. Consider the 12 dimensions of the larger circle. 2. Figure out which ones matter the most to you. 3. How are you doing today in each of those areas? (rate on scale of 1 to 10) 4. Where would you like to be? (1-10) 5. Where the biggest gap? 6. What can you do to close it? 7. Just do it. Start now. Don't wait. The result is that you do more of what truly matters to you! No one ever laid on their death bed wishing they had worked more...

Many are drinking this poison, the regret of not trying we all have wished we tried somethings when we had the chance to do so. The elegant lady whom you yearned to engage in conversation but refrained. The salary increase at work, reflective of your true worth, left unrequested. The instance when you hesitated to halt a passing car for assistance. The man you admired but failed to express your feelings to. Some may say they don't have regrets and I don't know how true that is. But the truth is many of us have regrets, some have found a way to deal with them others are finding ways and many more may not get over this feeling. The only way to easing regrets is letting go of what we are holding on to and how do we let go? By changing our mindset, only looking forward to a better tomorrow and looking backward for reference and not guilt. Think of it like driving a car. When you want to go backward, you check behind you. But once you're done, you focus on moving ahead to avoid problems.

Ever wondered why, despite giving your all at work, you sometimes feel like your efforts go unnoticed? It's a common experience, and many can relate to the feeling of not being fully appreciated despite hard work. In the workplace, a decent salary is important, but it's the respect and acknowledgment for your contributions that truly matter. So, let's reflect: What do you think matters more to you in your job – the paycheck or the respect you receive for your hard work? Share your thoughts!
