When you live your life according to God's laws, you will have the best possible success in life.

“Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones . . . Everything he does will succeed.”—PSALMS 1:1, 3.

ONE dictionary defines success as “the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence.” Is that a complete definition? Are wealth, favor, or eminence the only measures of success? Before you answer, consider this: Jesus Christ acquired no material wealth during his lifetime. He did not gain the approval of most men; nor was he highly regarded by the trendsetters of his day. Yet, Jesus was a successful man. Why?
While on earth, Jesus was “rich toward God.” (Luke 12:21) After his resurrection, God rewarded him by crowning him “with glory and honor.” Jehovah exalted his Son “to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name.” (Hebrews 2:9; Philippians 2:9) Jesus’ life course made Jehovah’s heart rejoice. (Proverbs 27:11) His earthly life was successful because it achieved its purpose. Jesus did God’s will and brought honor to His name. In turn, God honored Jesus with wealth, favor, and eminence of a kind that no academic, politician, or sports hero will ever experience. Jesus was truly the most successful man who ever walked the earth.

Do You Want to Make a Success of Your Life?

The Bible reveals the Source of the wisdom found in it when it says: “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial.” (2 Timothy 3:16) It also tells us that “the word of God is alive and exerts power.” (Hebrews 4:12) That is why the wise words found in the Bible are timely and effective for us today. Jehovah’s Witnesses would be delighted to help you to learn about this generous Giver, Jehovah God, so that you can come in line for being a beneficiary of the “bagful of wisdom” contained in the Bible—the book of wisdom with a message for people today.

Believing in yourself and what you are doing. If you are confident it shows. People are always drawn to people that are sure of themselves. It also depends on what you call successful. To me personally success is not fame or material wealth. It is being happy with the choices I have made in my life. So in other words, what can make you have success in life is YOU!!!!!

Success is defined by the individual. One persons success may be having peace of mind and another may be to have alot of money. Hard to answer without knowing what YOU want from your life.

It all depends on your definition of success.
Ultimately, in my view, success is fulfilling God's will and growing steadily in His love and glory...Doing God's will depends on your calling and what the duties that God had planned out for you, and that differs from one person to the next, and that can only be achieved with success that is throufh Christ that strengthens us.
So...What is your Calling?

Honesty, dedication, hard work, and treat people like you want to be treated. And don't ever think you are better than others.
