## Resource

In this episode of "Harmonizing Success," Litra Simms discusses the importance of balancing the measure of success without becoming obsessed with metrics. The discussion revolves around allowing growth metrics to guide you without letting them dominate your life. Litra emphasizes respecting your capacity and aligning personal values with progress measurement. She introduces a weekly check-in practice involving reflection questions to gauge progress, understand its cost, and plan adjustments for sustainability.

The episode concludes by reminding the listeners that success is multi-dimensional, and that life goes beyond metrics.
