I'm 25, married, high school diploma, legal assistant certificate, and an infant child, what are the chances that I am going to be successful?? Have you ever felt like that??

I think most every woman on the planet has felt that way before (if they are honest with themselves!) You are still very young - be glad you had your child(ren) while you are young. Take the time to enjoy them! Once they are in school you could always go to college or technical school and further your education. I wish you all the best - God bless!

Seek success and restructure your time. You need to find and adopt a goal. Legal Assistant Certification is a great step toward becoming a lawyer. A few night classes at a local college, maybe an occassional online course or two and you could be on your way toward being a lawyer.
Are you in a relationship? You're goal could be to have your significant other take over child rearing while you enter the high power corporate legal world in 5 years. Make the bum sit at home and raise the kids while you bring home the bacon.
It takes committment to do it. YOU need to be stong enough to make the decision and stand by it. Do NOT "ask" permission to bring success to yourself and your family. Seize it and make it yours and anyone not willing to come along for the ride better get used to a new, driven, determined you.

You've listed your successes as if they are all in the past. You have much to be greatful for, especially having achieved all of this at age 25. It sounds like you have lost touch with your dreams, which happens often when we get caught in a 9-5 routine and even moreso as a young mother who spends much of her time nurturing her child's needs at the expense of her own. Success is a feeling which is different for everyone. What you have to do is to get back in touch with your dreams and then set goals (with time limits) to achieve these dreams. You'll find that you are excited about life again, and each time you achieve a small goal, reward yourself. Stay focused on the dream and you will feel accomplished and successful. My business is related to personal growth and development and working on limiting beliefs, like the one you are experiencing right now. You may contact me directly, I would love to share my business with you as an option.

Yes sometimes and I have an Associates degree from my local community college, but no matter where I go, the jobs I see require a 4 year degree which I don't have. So, I think to myself that I am a successful contract person.

Yep, we've all been there, thinking I am really accomplishing what I want from life.
U have had success up until now.
Look at UR child if U need proof.
Look at UR life & the high points, UR just having a wobble.
It'll pass.
Say
" I'm a success ",
repeat when necessary.

Sure.
You have to take life's pleasures wherever they are.
Playing with your child or going for a walk, a nice Cab, or whatever.
Success is great, but how many rich miserable people do you know?
Work is for one thing - to finance the rest of your life, not to be who you are or to be your life.
Hope this helps.
