Success Doesn't Have to Look Loud

from Pass Around the Smile® · host Cleo Massey

In this vulnerable episode, I share a moment I’m not proud of ~ a quiet judgement I made about someone else that caught me off guard. But instead of pushing it away, I looked at it closely… and realised it had nothing to do with them, and everything to do with a fear I hadn’t fully healed in myself. With a focus on social media, in this episode I chat about the pressure we feel as a society to prove to others that we are 'happy' or 'successful,' or looking and feeling good. However what I've learned, is that success doesn't have to look loud. When I felt into this ~ the need to prove to others how 'well' I was doing melted away. It allowed me to breathe, the pressure melted away and I started becoming  enjoying my life a lot more! This episode is also for anyone who’s ever felt irrelevant, behind, or like their best achievements are already behind them. I explore how we measure our worth by the last “big thing” we did, and how that pressure to constantly top ourselves keeps us stuck in self-doubt.We also dive into; ~ The freedom that comes when we understand our projections~ Why we over-explain and justify ourselves when we’re feeling unworthy~ How letting go of the need to prove our success to others brings a refreshing, peaceful energy. And I close with some reflective questions to help you redefine what success truly means to you:💭 What if closing a business, stepping away, or going quiet is a sign of clarity, not collapse?💭 What if rest, change, or redefinition is a brave, empowered choice?💭 What if your successes don’t have to be put on show to actually matter?This is one of those episodes that might just unlock something big ~ even if it starts small.LOVE YOU SMILIES!!!
