— from Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
In the book
Define success first — before the goals, before the action — because everything downstream is wasted if the definition is wrong. Create your own definition of success, and then stop worrying about what the rest of the world thinks of it. One simple test cuts through the noise: ask what actually makes you feel like you are winning — what makes you so quietly happy that you do not even care whether anyone else knows about it. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
