✨ POV: At the age of 50, my idea of success had drastically changed…Now, to me, success is…living a life where you feel completely and authentically you. No masks—just the freedom to embrace your true self.

It’s the courage to be aware and embrace the uncomfortable parts within yourself and others. To lean into vulnerability and curiosity. To gain understanding. It’s the willingness to dig deep, untangling the wires of your soul until what once felt like frayed ends begins to reconnect. Repairing, this time, with the strong, radiant electricity of compassion, empathy, and love. And, in the process find peace. ✌️

Success is laughing so hard that you lose your balance, joyfully surrendering to the moment. It’s accepting love from others with an open heart, knowing that those who know how to give and receive love are the strongest among us. 💜

It’s seeing Gods beauty everywhere—in nature, art, people, and landscapes. It’s finding the light, even in the darkest, most painful moments. Success is learning to let go of control, trusting in something greater than yourself, and asking God to guide your steps with faith and humility. ☺️

It’s leaving the world better simply by being fully you. By giving your love and energy to the fullest capacity. Success is knowing that, because of you, one life has been touched, healed, or inspired.

To me, this is success—a life of purpose, connection, and love. By expressing that love that God put into your heart to the fullest, all other things work out. Love God, Love Others. God takes care of the rest. #LoveGod #LoveOthers
