Success Happy

What does success mean and how is it measured?

Success could mean different things to different people. In a recent re-evaluation of my personal goals and life desires, I have decided to make a career change in order to spend more time with my family instead of my business. My definition of success has completely changed. I am curious what everyone else measures their success by? Is it money? Status? Health? Family? Friends? Big House?

1. Success to me is not money, Status, Health, Family, Friends, or a Big House. Most of these are just needs, wants, and position. Success is accomplishing a task or goal that is of great achievement. Not only in the eyes of others, but also yourself. Such as being a good father or mother...having a stable family...putting up a new fence...having a steady job...keeping organized...fixing a car...putting up a shelf.......anything that accomplishes something. Success is simply trying and succeeding. So if you're not a quitter, try your best, and are accomplish goals, you are successful.
2. Success is two-fold. One component is being able to look into a mirror and being truly happy with who you are. The other component is being able to do what you want to do when you want to do and not worrying about what other people think or how much it costs. If you can honestly say you can do these two things, you are successful.
3. Success is getting out of bed in the morning. Being able to keep my possitive attitude and accept that many meters of success are not something I can control.
4. success is having the amount of money i require to do the things i want to do whether they are things for myself or others. i like to be generous with my things but i am not generous with my time. family-friends-health- house-status-----these are all things which can change at the drop of a hat. money if it is in a constant unchanging state equals happiness.
