Mindful Monday ‘

I want to start weekly mindful Monday posts. I want to write short (no promises) mindful post. Like a weekly advice column. That will hopefully inspire a lettering or typography piece to go along with it. So advice meets art. Well anyways here’s my first one:

Success shouldn’t measured by your house or car and bank account. There are people who may lead you to believe the opposite. When people think of success they tend to think about material things. It’s like expensive material objects are receipts for they’re success. They may want you to believe that is how success is measured because they have the receipts to prove it. In all actuality you can have lots of nice things and not feel successful because you aren’t fulfilled. Fulfillment doesn’t mean meeting your wildest dreams. It’s the enrichment of your life. Did you do things today that made you happy? Did you give yourself the rest you needed? Did you learn something new? Did you spend time with someone you care about? Where you heard or allowed someone else to be heard? These enriching moments makes you feel fulfilled. Being fulfilled is success. It’s a receipt you don’t have but can still be seen. Try to take the time to ask yourself; have I enriched myself today? Tomorrow try focusing on that same idea. Make it a habit. If you measure your time on this earth not with possessions but with times you’ve felt fulfilled you won’t need those expensive receipts to be successful. No matter what, I’m proud of you.

Kindest regards,
