As evidenced by the most recent post, there are times when you doubt yourself and your own path, but maybe that's another idea: your go through different stages of life, as you so articulately say, and thus success means different things. Maybe because it's such a journey and so personal, it makes achieving it so much sweeter in the end. Thanks again for your thoughts, Sam! Sam: Thanks for the comment!

Jonathan: This is something I've been learning, as not acknowledging these small successes can lead to frustration that you're not achieving more and a lack of self-confidence, losing belief. It's hard to combat those feelings sometimes, and I need to remind myself of everything I've done so far, that it's those small steps that matter. Thanks so much for your words and encouragement. Kim: I love how you say that "success is a constantly moving target," it couldn't have been better said. And it's so very true that there is a difference between reaching for a dream or a goal and striving for success just because. It seems like that's another issue to be considered. Very well said, thanks for your thoughts! Benjamin: That's precisely the reason I have a blog -- to talk through and figure out problems, assess situations, and find out what is important to me while gaining new insights and perspectives. That's what I love about this community -- everyone offers their own experiences in conversation that allows opinions to be challenged, to either change or cement what it means to them. Ryan: Thanks for providing the subject matter for this post! I'm always so pleasantly surprised when blogs challenge you, make you think deeply on the topic. I think competition is healthy in that it keeps you working towards something, but maybe it's also important to question why we can be so competitive -- is it to reach our personal best or is it as a means to play catch up with what everyone else is doing, measuring ourselves against that. Brings up some interesting questions...Thanks so much for starting the conversation! Kevin and Liz: Thanks for your comments!
