This project aims to capture the wisdom and experiences of successful, everyday individuals. The definition of “success” will be defined throughout the project. In my experience, if you ask one thousand people what success looks like, you will get one thousand different answers. Yet, the social definition of success portrays the need to be known by the masses (fame) and make large sums of money (riches), and that everyone has to strive for a more flashy and extravagant lifestyle. This is the inspiration that is put forth for us to aim for. Often, it doesn’t always match an individual’s views of success. So, I want to show the many versions of success and that it is okay if your definition of success does not match society’s. So, join me as I talk to those who have defined success for themselves and strive daily to reach it.
