Inspiration ~ Do NOT Compare

  

 

Such a small word with so many definitions, depending on who you ask. 

 

And so many synonyms.

 

i.e. accomplishment, achievement, happiness, prosperity, triumph, victory--the list goes on and on.

But what really defines success? Is it based on emotion? The way we view the world?

 

Elana Johnson shares an excellent blog post HERE Why We Don't Compare Ourselves.

 

So many people fall into the trap of comparing and tend to forget the whole point in trying to achieve that goal. I mean, wouldn't you agree the sole reason to achieve that goal (most of the time) is because we had passion for it in the first place? 

 

At some point in time, we became ambitious and a seedling of passion rooted within our hearts. 

 

It shouldn't matter what the other person is doing or achieving for we all have different paths to take and work at different speeds. It's one of those beautiful things in life. No two people are alike. Not even identical twins.

Please don't let comparisons take that passion, that happiness, that gratitude away from you.

 

A few weeks back I came across a video *see below* from a very awesome person who is full of inspiration and love. A person who I admire for who she is and the light she brings to all.

 

This girl is top notch successful and she still finds the time to reach out to people (which is another future blog post I will be addressing later). 

 

She was on the first season of The Apprentice and is the co-founder of The Campins Company, a premier real estate brokerage firm. And she has also been working on a book. It has been a big blessing that I have gotten to know her. 

 

And that person is the fabulous, yet modest, Katrina Campins.

How about you? What do YOU define success as?
