Success?

This semester has been especially difficult for me, for more reasons than one. There is a lot on my plate, and I find myself constantly evaluating myself: What things am I presently doing wrong? How can I be better? Why did I write that email that way? Today, I decided to stop that line of thinking, and to focus on what I'm doing successfully for the entire week. For every single day this week, I will write down and post on my wall one successful thing I did. And, in tomorrow's team meeting, I plan to ask people: "What does success look like for you right now?" For me, the definition has always evolved. At this present moment, success means not being too hard on myself. I'm not superwoman. I'm just Adashima, flaws and all.
