what is your definition of success?

Question

Does being successful mean you have to have a high salary or are there other things more important that define success to you.

Answer 1

What "Success" Is. To Me.

To have the ways, means, time and guts to choose and follow my own path.

To dissolve the line between who I am and what I "do."

To make decisions based not on fear, guilt, money or politics but rather what truly feels right.

To have much love, passion and fun in my life.

To be healthy in body, mind and spirit.

To have enthusiasm when I wake up, and peace of mind when I go to bed.

To use my unique gifts in a way that makes a positive difference in many peoples' lives.

To inspire and motivate others.

To be able to make people laugh -- including myself.

To know that I'm on the right path and not alone in my journey.

To live with the understanding that "getting there" isn't half the fun, it's most of it.

To make the most with what I've been given.

To take advantage of every opportunity and face every fear.

To live having true friends and die having no regrets.

To be able to experience death not as a "grim reaper", but rather as a welcomed sleep after a good, long day.




I hope this inspires you to define and achieve your own life success. Whatever that may be.

Answer 2

Success to me is reaching my fullest developmental potential as a human being. This would mean dying to the ego and living 100% from my authentic self. Living in joy, fearlessness and complete mental and emotional clarity is worth more than worldly possessions to me. Although I do believe that the outer mirrors the inner, so when we are successful within we attract all good things into our lives.

Answer 3

Success means being proud of what you have achieved in your life. High salaries and how others see you isn't really important.

Answer 4

There is no success in the world.

The matter you feel now success, laterwards you may consider nothing.

Say Hitler he wished to become Germany's ruler. His success brought his destruction too.

Success only a moments feeling. We cannot alter any happenings in the world.

Answer 5

Success always means reaching your own goals.
Now your own goals - what are them? That is the real question?
High salary, a balanced life, good health, happiness, finding yourself - can all be your goals. Everyone has his own goals.

For me - to be in tune with myself is my only goal. All the other things happen by themselves.

Answer 6

success,,,,for me it is the state when you reach the point that you have self-fulfillment...wherein you can feel that all you've work hard for becomes worth it.its not about having all the things you need in the world, its being able to give your share to the world, touching peoples lives and at the end to have a very peaceful mind.

Answer 7

No a mans success is based on the company he keeps.

Answer 8

only you can define YOUR success.

Putting food on the table can be the efinition of success for that person.

Owning your own helicopter.

Its important to realise that no one or nothing defines you. YOu define yourself. and accordingly, you define what youfind the meaning of success.

Answer 9

Being happy with what you have got but still having the ambition to try for more.

Oh yes and becoming a father is out of this world!
The second time is like a lap of honour.

Answer 10

Happiness, hell, i'd settle for contentment. Whether i'll find that through money or my job, or something else entirely, it's based solely on waking up being happy with where i am and what i'm doing at that point in my life.

That probably didn't make a lick of sense.
