Success is a choice

Hi everyone. Rosie Mendoza is a self-taught photographer, secondhand advocate, and the pro-environmental force behind, Question your Habits. In her words: At first sight, I am a successful person. I am my own boss. I have two healthy kids, one hefty mortgage and never a dull moment. All of the above keeps me grounded and humble but "success" is a concept I'm still chasing for. Every time I think I've reached "it", something triggers me to keep on digging deeper on what really means to ME. After 46 years, a handful of achievements and many disappointments I can clearly see that my understanding of success keeps on evolving at the same pace as I do. Unfortunately, at some point we all get under the spell of caring about what our success means for others. Their validation becomes common currency and we are willing to pay premium for it. By the time we realize how invested we are on getting someone else approval it's hard to break up with the idea that we don't need it at all and that success is a very personal journey. We easily let success be dictated by where we live, what we drive and how many people like us without thinking that, for better or worse, those variables can and will change along the way. THIS is the kind of Success I'm after these days: The ability to ADAPT (without losing myself) regardless my financial and social status. It won't save me from the struggle but certainly it will help me to bounce back from it much faster. Thank you for listening. Looking forward to connect thru Instagram as well at questionyourhabits.
