Success in life is when you have acheived peace and happiness within yourself and contentment with who you are. I have done this but I don't have much money. It doesn't take money to have a successful life.

A scripture comes to my mind:
"A name is better than good oil, and the day of one's death than the day of one's being born. Better is the end of a matter than its beginning."
I understand this to mean that the life & deeds we have chosen, show what kind of person we truly are, & this is the indicator of whether we have truly been successful or not.
You ask our personal definition or opinion of success. I truly believe that God's is the only Truly Accurate definition to consider. I have researched it, & find that the more I follow his guidelines, the closer I come to true success.
This success does not have to do with becoming famous, or powerful in politics or big business. It hasn't to do with someday being known as a great artist, or one of the most generous people the world has known., or even the best parent. I
True Success IS ... to be able to look back on one's life, knowing that one has done everything possible --within reality-- to strive ffor the perfection that God originally designed all humans to have.
That Is still his purpose, and can be ours, too. He shows us what we must learn, & how to use it, to attain to The Biggest Success that will make us the Happiest we could Ever hope for! To find out many more details about what I view as True Success, you can find by reading ...

In my opinion, success is having a job that I love, making more money than I need so I can give away the extra to people who need it, owning my own house, having a stable, loving family, and being close to God.

It's on how you feel about yourself. If you have a clear conscience, a job you enjoy (Not necessarily the best paying) and some family or friends you can spend some quality time with along with being supportive and willing to help your family and friends when the help is needed you have succeeded in life.

you're defining your self by your employment and textile positive aspects! i trust fulfillment is calling that deep inner peace all of us artwork so problematical to locate! With that inner peace it received't count number what level we are at in existence! everybody progresses otherwise and also you're literally not a failure, you want to concentration on the fulfillment on your existence! placed a plan into action, draw up some objectives, shift your concentration from what you won't be able to benefit to what's conceivable-you may do it! Breathe!

“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
“If you think you can do it, or you think you can't do it, You are right.”
"Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, Personal Integrity, Humility, Courtesy, Wisdom, Charity."
“Success is a journey, not a destination.”
“Success is getting what you want; happiness- wanting what you get”
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started”
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
