Measuring “Success”

By June 17, 2025 No Comments

During our working years, success was often something we could measure via clear metrics: income earned, business growth, promotions, recognition, or other benchmarks our professions deemed worthwhile.

Measuring success in Chapter X, however, is more challenging. One might still try to apply familiar expectations: financial stability, bucket list items checked off, projects completed. And certainly, all of those are worthwhile.

But maybe success in this chapter looks different. Maybe it’s measured by questions like:

  • Have I accumulated wisdom?

  • Have I helped others?

  • What have I learned?

  • Have I lived according to my values?

How do you measure your success?
