For me I would define a successful life as being happy, happiness is the most important factor of a successful life. Being in a rewarding job where you help others, being not poor or rich, having your own place, whether its a flat, house or any home that is yours. Having a special someone in your life and being able to afford holidays and never having to worry about bills. That for me defines successful, I just wish I could achieve them!

That would nice, not to have any credit card bills and still be able to buy what you wanted. To me that would be a successful life and be happy too.

So long as we can live a decent life either materially and mentally or psychologically and keep a healthy life, then I would say that it is a successful life. Could it be so, please, tony?

A successful person has the ability to fulfill his/her goals and desires with least effort and least use of resources,by fully understanding his/her strengths and weaknesses,and making the best use of the opportunities he/she meets in his life.Success in a person's life pertains to fixing and accomplishing high goals that continue to generate value and happiness for him/her and for others around.A successful person has the positive spirit and determination to succeed in living a life of happiness,prosperity and fulfillment in consistent of his/her life's goal.Thanks.

For me successful life is raising my kids as good children of God and good citizens of the world. I am not asking for too much wealth but just enough for us to survive our daily living. And a health that will permit us do things enjoyably.

To me successful life would be to have a super nice home and not be in debt. To have a good job that you like and pays well. And, of course, be able to buy what you want.

Everyone is mean to be successful and everyone is mean to be happy. When you say successful life is not meant that you are happy. You can have every material thing in life, its you that is successful not everyone else. Its a selfish to think that you are successful only for material thing, and be happy with the power, fame and work within your reach, but where you happy? Being successful in life totally is the life within you, physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually. Have you think that God has given you the life without all of these visible in all aspect. This is the successful image of God within you. Successful life is to have God with you, to have his power within you, to have his name in you, to have his heart in you and to have you to have what HE has in you. Its powerful and I'm grateful that God has given me the opportunity to be a successful in life.
