I judge my success by my own standards.

.

Outside influences rarely determine my success because it is driven by my standards. I set my own definitive scale of measurement for how well I do in life.

.

Society tries to tie me to certain standards for success, but I avoid falling into the trap. I know that the easiest way to feel unfulfilled is living according to the ideals of others. My focus is on living an authentic life that I am able to confidently stand behind.

.

My peers realize some achievements before me but I avoid feeling less accomplished. I know that there is a time and season for each experience in life.

.

I give attention to my own goals and work hard to achieve them. The noise from outside influences rarely gets me to lose focus.

.

The experiences of others sometimes serve as teaching tools. I use their examples to help me to know whether I am on the right track. Even so, I avoid looking at their result as my standard for success.

.

Today, I commit to remaining focused on my internal standards for success and decide for myself which goals I want to pursue. I am unfazed by the achievements of others, and I avoid comparing myself to them.
