At some point during your teenage years, you probably developed an idea of what "success" as an adult would look like. Sticking to that definition as an adult is a surefire way to end up unhappy, according to serial hospitality entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling business author Chip Conley.

[and] evaluate whether there's another way to think about the situation," she noted. I wonder if I can change anything about this situation or my expectations about it," wrote Maenpaa.
