Success
They seek it here, they seek it there. They seek success everywhere.
So why don’t we ever seem to achieve success? Do you think it could be because we have never taken the time to define what success means to us? I am speaking to myself by the way. I’m speaking of years of working like a dog, ?passing exams and building companies and yet never felt like a success.It finally dawned on me one day that I was successful for no other reason than feeling happy. Once I understood that everything clicked into place for me. I could feel successful anytime I wished, no matter how much or how much money I had, what I weighed or what was happening in my personal life.
Imagine that – being able to feel successful anytime and any place!

I think you made a very good point: success is about happiness.
The greatest thing is to do what you like, no matter heroic or trivial. If one can do what
he likes and do it well, it will be a success in true sense. *^^*
The more you want to succeed, the slower you will get it. Success isn’t just about the money, it’s about how you feel.
Success is a never ending journey. Once you reach one goal/milestone, we don’t take time to celebrate it. Instead, we are off to the next challenge/goal. It is a never ending cycle.
Success is a ghost. You think that you can ‘catch it’ or ‘get there’, but you never do. Who do you know that have said, “I’m done. I have done everything that I ever wanted to do. I don’t have anything else to do”?
I agree w/ Barry. Success is all in your mind.
Being ambitious is a blessing and a curse. You are always seeking greatness, yet you are never satisfied?.
Only you can determine what makes you happy and successful.
Success is something that builds so gradually. It is hard to tell where trying to be successful stops and being successful begins. Achieving happiness is a very good way to measure success.
It’s good to be able to come to a conclusion like that. My problem is that I achieve goals while planning the next step so I often don’t even realize what I have done until I take the time to reflect on how much I have achieved.
There is no border that delineates the moment you cross over into success; it is your own assessment of your achievements that determines that.
