The definition of success relates to your goals and personal pursuits. The criteria for success depends on mindset, context, and beliefs that may be related to your definition of life. Having a strong, stable mindset helps to push yourself towards success. Personally, my job and school are my priority as a senior in high school. Being able to push myself through 25-30 hours a week at my job along with the heavy workload from my AP and dual credit classes is definitively based on my mindset. Hard-working people focus on the most important goal. My work ethic comes from the people I surround myself with who encourage me to keep pushing when I feel like I can't. Breaking large tasks into smaller tasks, taking breaks but staying focused, taking care of myself, and rewarding myself are all factors in my accomplishment. Myself and others with a growth and success mindset strive to achieve their goals with persistence, adaptability attitude and the ability to improve and change.
