Desiree-Anne Martin Legacy Project

This is an interesting question I’m struggling to answer because the term success is not really apart of my life; it isn’t part of my daily narrative.

I don’t close off a day by saying it was successful or unsuccessful, so I can’t necessarily measure my entire life, and life’s plans, against that. More so, my definition for success has definitely changed over time.

When I was younger, success used to mean having loads of money, being lauded by many and travelling the world.

Instead, nowadays I speak about my life in relation to victory and accomplishment – and for the sake of the question, I will use this as my definition for success. I feel accomplished when I do everything that I set out to do.

I feel I’ve accomplished when I’ve challenged myself to do more and better than my own expectations of myself. Victorious suggests coming out on the other side of a battle; and I celebrate more momentous accomplishments as victories.

These are the small/big wins, the things that took a lot more time and effort to accomplish, and often with much resistance. Because of my entrepreneurial flair I still believe in generating income and having financial freedom, but not at all costs.

The reason success has changed so much for me and become relatively unquantifiable is because the previous premises upon which it rested were flawed.

Nizenande Machi | The Legacy Project used to think being rich was having large sums of money, now I think it’s about being surrounded by things and people money can’t buy. I’ve also realized that people’s hearts are easily swayed, today they can praise you and tomorrow curse you.

To have your value determined largely by their glorification of you can be volatile, and an ever-moving target. Of course, having the support of trusted companions is important and should not be disregarded. Lastly, I enjoy travelling the world, but I keep falling in love with South Africa and Africa at large, and that does not render me unsuccessful.

The definition had to change, you see, because it was quite naïve and limiting; and now that I know a little better, I have relaxed my assumptions.
