What is your idea of success?

Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Success is a term that is thrown around quite a bit, in all aspects of life. But is success quantified by a single moment in time, or is it a slow build and growth?
I believe that it can be both! Success in a voice lesson could be the discovery of a feeling/technique that has been slowly building over time. Success could be getting a callback from a theater you would really like to work at. Success could be winning the dinner discussion and ordering from your favorite restaurant.

My idea of success is continuing to move through life being able to do what I love to do: teaching and performing.
