How To Define Success On Your Own Terms

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we have an exciting solo episode on how to define success on your own terms. In the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, I discussed this in Chapter 5 entitled “The Incomparable You”. Holistic Wealth was highlighted as the Book of the Week by Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, and a quote from Holistic Wealth was highlighted, which is also very relevant to this episode:

“Chasing after the highest paid position is pointless. Service to humanity is the highest calling”. – Keisha Blair, Holistic Wealth

In my interview with Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, also recently published, I outlined “5 Tips for Facing Giant Life Obstacles with Power and Grace”, which are also very instructive for defining success on your own terms including honoring your values, facing your “dry bones” and spiritual self-renewal, as well as holistic growth – which includes building wealth in all aspects of our lives—including mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual— which is paramount.

In the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, there are many strategies throughout to help you define success on your own terms, and master the “Art of Recovery From Disruption”. Tune in to listen to this episode of the Holistic wealth podcast with Keisha Blair.

How To Define Success on Your Own Terms

These are a quick list of some strategies to help you cope during stressful times (Listen to the full episode of the podcast):

1. Outline your core values – If you ever feel lost, it can be clarifying to acknowledge the things in life that propel you. Write down the values that are most meaningful to you. Whether it’s community, loyalty, courage—there are so many. Think about not only your life and your unique story of self—where you come from your unique background, your skills, and experiences—but also what drives you and what your passions are.
2. Create a Personal Mission Statement – An intention represents a commitment to carrying out an action in the future – creating a personal mission statement helps to articulate your intentions. The Holistic Wealth Personal Workbook has case studies and a template to help guide you.
3. Think about your personal Holistic Wealth PortfolioTM – Your Holistic Wealth portfolio is a summation of all your goals and intentions as well as a roadmap to get you there in the core aspects of holistic wealth. The Institute on Holistic Wealth can help you develop yours.
4. Focus on Mindfulness – Regular and sustained mindfulness practice has been shown to improve attentional control, increase awareness of internal and external experiences and reduce stress.
5. Embrace the Holistic Wealth Method – Think of all your decisions as either a depletion or addition to your holistic wealth bank account – and focus on activities that enrich you.
6. Positive Self-Talk – Can stop catastrophic mind chatter that causes stress and allows you to focus on keeping your intentions and setting goals.
7. Find Your Purpose (Your Why) – Remember your “why” and embrace your mission and purpose (refocus and re-energize).

I also discussed various strategies from my new book: Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom. Tune in to this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair.
