Why my blog is named: Define success

This morning on the way to school someone on the radio said, " Just remember, success is not the end result, it's the journey."   Hmmm.... so what does it mean to say you "finally" succeeded in something?  Final usually means the end, right? The end of whatever you were working so diligently on to succeed?  Who knows.  My blonde roots have REALLY done a work on me. :) 

Anyway...  I want to write a book someday and I like this title.  Mainly because I struggle with defining success myself.   Many might look at my achievements and say, "wow, you have been truly successful in _____________ (fill in blank)" however, my expectations are so out-of-this-world that I never truly feel like I've succeeded~up against my own standards, that is.  In my mind, I have this scenario and no matter what, it never plays out quite the way I had expected or hoped it would. Therefore, disappointment.  Continuously.  It drives my husband crazy.  But how do you have LOW expectations all the time?  Then you would never have anything to look forward to, right?  But everything I look forward to always ends up to be a downer, so I guess it's a catch 22 for me.     

I suppose this whole idea of success actually is a journey for me in a sense that I need to realize all the little successes along the way and not be so caught up with the "biggie" at the end of the rainbow...whatever THAT might be. :)  I just wanted to clarify why I've named my blog "define success".    I don't know, I'm bored and 24 is over and I can't think of anything else to write about. :)  Sooo off to bed.
