How to Tell if You're Already Successful

Everyone wants to be successful. However, these days success is no longer measured by the number of awards you’ve one, the amount of recognition you’ve received, and even how you fare against your competition. Today, success seems to be a difficult feat because the benchmark of success is competing and outmatching yourself – but when are you really able to say you’re successful when you keep raising the bar once you’ve gotten near it?
Here are some thoughts that you should have in your head so you can appreciate the hard work you’ve put in and revel in the success that you already are.

Do you know your priorities?

Knowing what is important and what can be put off until later is a sign of success because you know when to say no to the external noises and keep your focus on the right things, ensuring you stay on your path towards your goals. Even more, knowing your priorities just shows you already know what is beneficial to you, meaning you’ve gone the distance of learning and evolving into the success you already are today.

Are you confident about your abilities/company without being arrogant?

Being able to proudly carry yourself and your company shows that you have confidence in your own ability as well as your own company’s performance. There is a fine line that splits confidence and arrogance, and it is important for you to be aware that you carry your badges with pride without overbearing it onto other people. Once you’re able to do this, it means you’ve mastered the ability to be successful without pushing people out of the way.

Can you appreciate the success of others?

Success finds itself always in the company of success. So, if you’re able to appreciate the success of the people around you, it simply means you’re surrounded by those who’ve accomplished great things, and you are one of them too. That being said, praise others and help them be aware of their achievements so that they can do the same for you. You’ll be able to successfully bring people up, and you will rise with them.

Do you have a healthy relationship with the people around you?

Take a look around and assess your relationships. Are the people you work with happy with you, not just as a coworker or boss, but as a peer or friend? Are you saving time for your friends and family, and do they have a chance to bond with you? If you’re able to maintain these healthy, human relationships outside of your work environment, you can say you’re successful in balancing between work and life, successfully integrating the two together.

Can you ask for help when you need it?

The road to success isn’t always smooth nor is it a solo journey. When you’re able to admit and accept that you need help, whether through professional consultant services or support from family and friends, it shows that you are able to assess your strengths and weaknesses and put them to better work. In that sense, you’ve succeeded in optimizing everything.
