When it comes to success, we all hold very personal representations of what this means to us. And many times, we find people striving for this thing called success, even if what they are striving for is very different in reality to what they actually want. In today’s episode, I explore this topic further from a recent experience I had, which made me think, what even is success and how do we best measure it in our life to know that we are achieving what really matters to us?

Welcome to Itch. My name’s Luke, I’m 32 years old, and I’m from Australia. I’ve spent my life with an insatiable curiosity, an ‘itch’ if you will, and a need to understand more. This podcast is born of that curiosity, my love of story telling, a desire to seek alternative perspectives, view life through a lense of grey, rather than black and white, and continue on my path to seeking authenticity. I take you on a short journey of my past or recent experiences, discuss situations encountered and lessons learned, and provide an opportunity for the you, the listener, to think about this in your own life, with the hope to gain some new insight for yourselves and see if it can add any value to your everyday.

The measure of Success

In today's lesson, I offer my timely reminder on a practice so many of us know, and yet, I am sure, so little of us truly hold ourselves to account to. Gratitude - as I have learnt, is more than an attitude, and it requires discipline and daily practice to truly reap its benefits. In this episode, I talk about my most recent challenges, my timely reminder and a step by step guide to implement this simple practice that is quite literally changing my world.

Gratitude is a practice, not just an attitude

In today’s episode, I explore a lesson that I use to call myself into account even until today. This unrealistic concept of perfection. 

Whether it is what you expect of the world, your relationships or just of yourself, we can all find ourselves seeking out this state of ‘perfection’ in our day to day. 

I found that by giving up this concept and rather connecting firmly with a state of ‘progress’, my world becomes more fluid, more flexible, more achievable and ultimately, more fulfilling.

Chase progress, not perfection

In today’s episode, I share my lesson in the power of respecting everyone’s pathway; even when that pathway may challenge, oppose or simply seem a distant reality from your own. 

In what can be an extremely polarised world, this lesson helps me to bring empathy into action and humbly remind myself of the beauty in diversity and the need to lean in to those around you, or kindly step away, even when it’s most difficult.
