The way I define my success...

A very busy day can also feel very beautiful once you get a feeling of doing something good, a satisfaction of an achievement, a joy of success. Sometimes when I sit alone & think, I see many of us don't celebrate that momentary feeling just waiting for a bigger success, but is it really worth waiting for? Would I want to spend my life  being all busy, with no time for myself, no rewards or happy moments, just for a bigger victory which might not even last for a day? Knowing myself, I would never stop at one milestone, I would like to go ahead. But to keep myself charged, I really love to enjoy those small moments of success, when I meet a person I always wanted to meet, when I get a very nice note/comment/reply from someone, when I get a compliment from someone, when I am able to help someone, when I spend time for myself even if I am doing some crazy stuff. I never like to define success in terms of my career growth. For me, success is something which gives me a happy feeling, a satisfaction of being important & useful. So, I celebrate it in a different way too. Sometimes, when I am happy with my work for the day, I reward myself by taking out some time at work to listen to my favorite songs, just close my eyes & feel the music. It is a very nice experience, because I am not burdened and certainly not waiting holding my breath for something big. Of course big things happen in my life, but it seems the small things I enjoy, are the main constituents of that big bang. So, why not enjoy both... Let me find what to celebrate today...
