Dare to Face Your Fears
By Naomi Simson, an EO Sydney member and founding director of RedBalloon
What is success, and how do you measure it? Everyone has a different interpretation of what it means to be successful. To some it’s accruing fame and fortune, while others define success as achieving a state of contentment. I think success is a lot like the notion of beauty— it’s all in the eye of the beholder. When I was in my twenties, I thought success was being able to buy a pair of shoes without looking at the price tag. In my thirties, success revolved around having healthy, thriving children. Now that I’m in my forties, success to me is about making a difference in people’s lives, including my own.
