Reminders for 35 year old me
I am successful if...
I define success much differently now (in 2026) than I did when I was 25.
As its the first day of the year, I wanted to commit my definition of success for this year, in writing. Whenever I catch myself comparing my life to others in future, I want to use this definition as an anchor to ground myself back to what I value the most.
I would consider myself successful if -
- I am talking to parents and family back home 4+ times per week
- I have secured parents monthly income
- I am talking to all the immediate relatives every 2/3 months
- I Wish all close friends and relatives on their birthdays
- I reach 90 kg (198 lbs) in healthy weight (Blood sugar < 90, BMI < 25, Body Fat % < 20%, body age < 30)
- I am able to create one fun memory / experience per month
