0:00.0 | How can you redefine success in your life? Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's |
0:09.7 | show. Today I want to talk about success and how to redefine it. And before we talk about |
0:17.4 | redefining it, I guess we should talk about defining it. |
0:24.7 | And one of the definitions, well, actually I'll give you a few definitions. |
0:31.7 | If you just simply Google success definition, the first one that comes up is the Oxford Language Dictionary, which is success, the noun, is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. |
