What is success to you?

March 31, 2018 3:23pm CST
We all wish to succeed in our lives, but success is somehow subjective, and I think everyone has their own definition of it. And you, what does success/being successful mean to you? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Success to me, is never having to look back, taking the temporary failures in your strive, and trying to make all the achievements in life as permanent as possible. Success is also leaving the stage on a high....not staying long enough to see yourself turned into something you're not

I feel like success is accomplishing something that means most to you. Some it is writing that novel they always wanted to do, some is making their first million dollars, others it is just being a parent. My success was going to college and making a short film that aired on TV. my next success will be publishing my graphic novel, it is just goals and accomplishing something that makes you feel like you have a purpose.

Hello. Welcome to mylot. Success for me is building good relationships. When you have created wonderful relationships, you feel the satisfaction within yourself that you did something right.

Greetings, Each person has its own definition for success. But for most of the people, it's either based on career goals or money. Mine, for example, is achieving a certain quantity of money. I have it already established and that's what I aim for. It's not career related. I want to reach that sum in order to retire myself and help my parents and my father and mother-in-law. You'll notice how many of the goals are related to money. It's a shame, in my opinion. The world nowadays is moved by money. No values, no spiritual goals. Money. Without it, it's like if we were nobody. Regards!

Hello, You're really right! The world is driven by money today, and that's so bad. I think the best we can do is to consider money as just a mean, and not a goal itself. I do appreciate you thinking to help your family; for it's very precious. Regards

I have a traditional idea of success. Being healthy and established, having a job that you enjoy and that pays well.
