Success follows: why the path counts
What I measure success by.
By Katharina Beer, decision architect ·
The basic problemThe goal is reached, and it feels like an ordinary Monday morning.
For me success means something else: feeling happy while the path is being walked.
The word says it itself. In German, success “follows” (er-folgt).
The key statementSuccess follows what a person does.
If what they do fulfils life and everyday life, success comes as a consequence.
Whoever does not feel happy on the way gives away precious lifetime. That is why how one feels along the way is my benchmark for success.
