Today, I read an article titled Owning your success. It definitely got me thinking about how women define success. We all want to sparkle or shine at some point in our lives. For me, success is happiness. Being given responsibility in our jobs is crucial. We want to know that we are valued and once that has been discovered then we take on more responsibility and own our learning. This is a key phrase that I teach my high school students…own your learning. Taking ownership makes you stronger and eventually you develop inspiration in furtherance of becoming better at your job.
Owning success is not straightforward. Dedication is critical however, leading a balanced lifestyle is my definition of success. I enjoy accomplishing things and sharing my ideas with others. Also, as we age and mature we don’t focus on what others think about us we proceed with our ideas and try not to be perfect. Accepting our flaws and being oneself is the finest way of owning our learning.
