thoughts on success

I had a terrible week last week.

Spent 0 time working towards my goals…or so I thought.

While doing my weekly reflection + discussing it with my partner,

I realized I wasn’t focused on the right things…

“True happiness is intention.”

This was the idea my partner shared with me.

I had spent the entire week unintentionally doing errands…

It felt like a waste of time,

Especially when I saw others working and making $5,000+ a week.

But during my weekly reflection, I asked myself:

Is my main goal in life really to work?

Even if it’s on my own business.

It’s not…

My life north star metric (#1 purpose in life) is to positively impact other people.

And at first glance, I didn’t feel like I did that.

But I realized:

  • I helped my sister with some of her errands too, making her life easier

  • I helped my friends move their businesses forward

  • I helped my family out with some chores

So now I had 2 choices:

  1. Continue comparing myself to others and criticizing myself for not doing what I’m “supposed” to

  2. Give myself grace knowing that my choices still reflect my values

So obviously I picked the one that made me feel better,

And as a result, felt more energized to get back to working on my business.

And I wouldn’t have realized this if I hadn’t intentionally reflected.

My weekly reflection questions

  • Wins - what gave me energy?

  • Losses - what drained energy?

  • If I continued today’s habits, would I be proud of who I am 1 year from now

  • What should I say no to?

  • What will that allow me to say yes to?

  • Gratitude:

  • Goals for week ahead:

Template is in my life tracking course (teaching how to live more intentionally).

P.S. I’m thinking of running a cohort of the course (live calls too) starting in June…stay tuned 👀 It’ll be the best time to join the course cuz after that I’m splitting the course into 3 separate ones since I got feedback there was a LOT of info and that students wished I could’ve dove in more detail on some concepts.
