Midnight thoughts on #success:

How do we #define success? For some it will be achieving a certain thing they’ve been working towards for a long time. For others it will be something as seemingly simple as getting out of bed.

Why is success such a hard thing to define? Because it is #unique to an #individual and to a #situation. There are no hard and fast rules definitively stating what success is and how to achieve it.

We don’t have any right to #judge others based on their success or lack thereof if we are using our own values as the metric against which someone else is being judged. We can admire their #achievements. We can encourage their #efforts. We can empathise with them in their #hardships. But we do not get to say what is or what isn’t a success because of how we regard it in our own lives.

Maybe success was getting to the end of this toot. Maybe it was finding 5 minutes to scroll on the socials. Maybe it was waking up in the first place.
