Brittni is right about one thing, success is measured differently by all of us. Success to me is when I come up against a challenge that takes me out of my "comfort zone" and I don't give up, I keep moving through the challenge until I have completed the task, not always without errors but, we truly learn from our mistakes.

Happiness is right! Thank you. One of the best parts of my week is when accomplish the goals I've written on my list, even if they are small, I get to scratch them off the list with a big sharpie! It feels so good! Brittni, this article was really inspiring. Happiness is right! Thank you.

Been thinking a lot about success lately--how will I know when I get there? Does it mean money? Fame? 5,000 page views? For me, success is a very individual idea; the fact that I ever even had the courage to start my business, let alone keep at it after 3 years, is success to me, whether I'm making a living as a full-time artist yet or not (but would be nice!) I agree it helps to break things down into smaller chunks--this weekend I had a goal of coming up with 2 new designs--just making them. Usually my goal includes the making, photographing, listing, blogging, twittering...blah blah--and I can never do it. By having a smaller goal, I was able to do it, with more sanity, and feel much better about myself and my biz come this morning when I went into the 'day' job. Thanks for the good words!

Very wise and true words. Also, if you base success on your own definition, you are in control of your success, rather than letting others define - and control - your success. This is exactly what I needed to hear today, Brittni, thank you! :) Yes! Very wise and true words.
