What does success mean and look like to you? We all have our ways we measure and reach success. For some, that means fame and fortune, but for many of us it can be the simple accomplishment of losing the weight, running the marathon, landing the desired position in the corporation or raising a family.

To be more successful in your life, what it comes down to is developing new habits and following through with them. Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul, has applied what he calls The Rule of 5 to achieve his goals, where each day he does 5 specific things to move him towards his goal. What are 5 things you could do every day to grow your success?

Setting SMART Goals are great ways to get clear on what you want out of life, and remember, to achieve your desired outcome, is to commit to the process of accomplishing them. The goal is the end result, but it does not define who you are. Enjoy where you are right now in life, know you desire to grow (isn't that what goals really are?), and set daily habits of creating your best life.

What are some of your rituals to create your best life?
