I will know I have arrived when. . .

How do we measure personal success?

In a highly scientific poll*, I asked my friends to fill in the blank:

“I will know I have arrived when. . .”

• ‎…i get there.
• when I no longer ask that question.
• i realize there’s no destination
• I feel I’ve arrived but I can’t remember how- !
• I can relax in this moment
• When I’m greeted at the door with a piece of apple pie.
• I’m already there.
• My GPS tells me… unless I’m in the middle of the woods.
• i’m dead
• I want what I have.

Granted these are all rather general, and my own answers may vary when looking at different aspects of my life.  But professionally, the answer is quite clera to me.

I will know I have arrived when I randomly see someone I don’t know reading my second book.

What about you?  How will you know when you “have arrived?”
