Inner peace. You could have ALL the things you've listed above and be living a NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to reassess your values and think about what is really important in life.
Do you REALLY think at the end of your life that saying you had a Lexus, a handsome husband and a big house will impress anyone, least of all God? I don't think so. Better you should focus on being fortunate enough to fall in love with an honourable man who will respect and cherish you all of your life, that you give back to your community in meaningful ways, that you are blessed with children who are happy and healthy...and if they, or someone close to you is not blessed with good health that you will have the compassion and wisdom to make their lives as rich and as comfortable as possible.

- Get a good education
- Find a well paying job that fits you
- Don't get frustrated all the time
- Don't be difficult to deal with
- Spend your money wisley
I suggest this: If you are only going to have about 3 people living in your house, just get a ranch or a 2 story house (not a mansion) so you can save allot of money.

I will call my life successful if I make my near and dear ones happy and secure. And when I die people remember me as a good guy, and pay respect to my kids for that.

For me it's more about the inner feeling the person has. It's about understanding who you are and what you want. The feeling that one is living according how he/she wants to live. That a person is seeking to understand his fears and overcome them.
That a person is feeling relaxed and happy. That he experiences strongly and with full heart. That no feeling is strange for him: love, joy, fear, anger, sadness. That's my description of a succesful life at the moment.

being successful is knowing who you truly are and accepting yourself. it frees you to accomplish anything in life. trying to be something or being your work label is not you. that is like saying a jar of mayonnaise is eggs. that is just one component. you make your title or position. it does not make you. success in life is not where you are or what you have, that is what society looks at. success can be accomplished anywhere, any payscale, and any job. i am very thankful for the accomplished people that do the things no-one else does. they are truly successful.

A good family, health, wealth, friends, peaceful surrounding, clean environment, and plenty of hope.
Mine is, come to think of it, quite near this target!

For me, success means happiness and peaceful life. We don't have to have a lot of money if it trades our happiness our peace and smile. If it occurs that way,do you considere achieving?
