[QUOTE="kllee, post: 240777, member: 43736"] This is a piece I wrote about myself, for myself. But as everyone is currently navigating a difficult period, I thought I’d share it here in case it helps brighten someone’s mood. What does success mean to me? To me, success is about the journey it took for me to win in the first place. It’s the sleepless nights. It’s the constant interviews and mock assessments I had to go through before the real thing. It’s my family and friends rooting for me along the way. It’s knowing that all of my amazing mentors have my best interests at heart and genuinely want to see me win. It’s knowing I wouldn’t be where I am without my lovely support network. But it’s also the fearful feeling of what if? What if this doesn’t work out? What if all of my hard work and the time and energy everyone else has invested in this process go to nothing? What if, by the time I'm about to reach the end of my journey, I give up last minute out of fear of failure? This is what success means to me. It’s knowing that despite there being a huge possibility of failing, of not realising my goal, of not getting the job I desperately want, I still gave it a go. I tried. I kept going despite it being hard. I saw the journey through to the end. So I won’t give up. Not just because I have something to prove to myself, that I can do hard things, but because trying is already my version of success. Showing up. Seeing it through. Allowing myself to chase something even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. That, in itself, is winning. [/QUOTE]
