Make your own path

Success is a story you tell yourself.  If you look at someone else's path and say, "I want my life to look like their life," than you will never experience success.  

Why?  

Because your life has been made to be your life and their life has been made to be theirs.  The most impactful move toward success you make is to stop constantly doing and decide what success looks like for you.  

The catch is if you can't give yourself permission to not do what someone else has done.  If you're dying to conform it's hard to be successful.  Or, if you need approval or permission, success will be fleeting. An important part of success is feeling the daily accomplishment of making your own path.
