Define success

Post Reply New Topic

What is success to you wrt to anything; Love, Career, Life, Cup of Coffee...anything or everything?

I've adopted George Washington Carver's definition and tried to apply it to mostly everything.

"It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success." ~ George Washington Carver

Being content
With what you have.
Happiness would be a bonus, but we can't have everything.
Also, seeing people you love happy or content.
That's the freaking pinnacle of success.

Being psychologically grounded and stable. (A.K.A wisdom...incidentally the hardest to achieve.)
Good health.
Strong body.
A loving family.
A loving woman.
Healthy relatives.
Fun hobbies
Friends with shared interests.
Belonging to a community
Ability to travel anywhere, anytime
Comfortable income.
A nice house.
No debts.
A Life purpose.
Being Skilled /expert at something.
Good job.
Good drugs
Top class Hookers.

Oh scratch those last two. lol, I'm just joking, or am I..

Did I leave anything out. I think I covered most of what people would consider 'success'

Oh I can define it quite easily and in great detail, it's getting there that's the hard part.

Being satisfied with your effort, the outcome, and other people's feelings - regardless of the circumstance.

Define Success?

• Living independently from familial, medical, political, religious, and social support.

• Having the freedom and finances to travel, get an education, enjoy privacy, support my family, and raise my children to be healthy, well-educated, well-adjusted, law-abiding citizens.

• Living my life well enough so that even the undertaker is sad to see me dead.

Liking yourself and feeling useful and needed.
