You define success for yourself. No matter what that is, you'll need to be able to trust yourself to make good decisions.
Guest, Scott Kimbro, author of SubmUrgency: How To Live and Die Without Regret, and Dr. Rhoberta Shaler talk about empowering yourself to confidently step up and live fully. Even if things are difficult--or have been--you can feel good about how you respond to life, and the results you create.
Scott's bestselling book discusses:
There are three types of Urgencies: Obvious, Optional and Hidden – or “SubmUrgencies.” People who go through life thinking that there are only Obvious Urgencies end up with a lot of Regret at the end of their lives. In this book, each type of urgency is defined, there is a list of examples for each urgency (sometimes with the help of songs, movies, studies, or other books), and there are techniques outlined to teach readers how to overcome them. As a result, the reader will understand “How to Live – and Die – Without Regret.
He suggests:
Most people have some toxic relationships. The challenge is that we do nothing to change that. We do not stop and ask the other person “why do you say mean things to me? Why do you act that way with me?“ If we will just be bold enough to ask the hard questions with love, many times the relationship will change. The other person will open up, and do some self reflection, which will lead to a much improved relationship. I am convinced that if we love others well, we will be willing to ask those hard questions in an attempt to help the other person see what they are causing – a toxic relationship.
