The Occupational Adventure reminds us to be careful about how we gauge success:

“Another belief that commonly stands in the way is what success looks like. Success, in our classic American definition, can be summed up in one simple word…MORE. As in more money, more status, more things. More money is easy to quantify. More happiness, on the other hand, is not. Guess which one gets used more often to measure success?”

I have found at many times in my life that I actually needed to remove elements to be more successful. Trimming the fat from your e-mail account, personal duties and obligations, participation in activities that suck away time but provide little return, projects that are more of a hassle than they’re worth, and draining relationships clears out precious time and room for what really matters to you.

If you feel you’re always clambering desperately for just that little bit more that will make you happy, stop. Let go. See what you have when you’re sitting still. Work with that. Move toward your destination coming from the starting point of your core.
