The True Measure of Success (It Isn't What You Think It Is)

The title of my blog is “Million Dollar Mindset.” You may think that I consider money to be the true measure of success.

I don’t.

Of course money is important. Without money, life can be very difficult. With money, life can be lived more fully.

But money is not the true measure of success.

Joy is the true measure of success.

Joy and happiness are not the same thing. Happiness relies on brief experiences that give us pleasure but fade quickly. Eating pizza. Going to the movies. Getting together with a friend.

Joy does not come from brief experiences. Joy is rather a mindset and a choice to find contentment, peace, wisdom and love in all things.

To be joyful is to be full of contentment, peace, wisdom and love.

The true measure of success, the true meaning of a “million dollar mindset,” is living life joyfully.
