What a sweet post. I think success can mean a positive attitude despite what life throws at you and not giving up. I’m about to be unemployed after 16 years, and I wonder where I will find my success next, but what is most important is to take risks and push myself beyond my comfort zone. Getting past fear and smiling about it can make all the difference.

I would have to say that Angie is already a success. I think it is wonderful that she keeps writing. Has she looked into self publishing? There are so many ways to get your work published these days, I actually think traditional publishers may be on the way out. Good Luck and don’t give up!

Great article Kristen. It is so true that we should all measure our own success with how WE feel about what WE are doing and not how ANYONE else feels about it! If you like to write, WRITE, if you like to draw, DRAW etc. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!

Hi Kristen,
Great article, thanks! It was right on time as I was thinking about my own success and that of my clients. As a therapist it is easy for me (most of the time) to see perserverance and dedication to a goal or dream is success in and of itself but as a writer and business owner it can be easy to lose sight of that in my own life. Thanks for the perspective and inspiring my own post on measuring success. http://grouptherapyassociates.org/blog/2009/10/02/measuring-success/
