The true meaning of success depends on what you consider success. To me success can be many things for the most part I believe it is being satisfied with you life and who you are. Success is also not the same for everyone. I think when most people think of success they relate it to being finanicially successful. Wealth for the most part. But is that really success? What if you are so rich and have so much money but you are miserable and unhappy? Does having all the money change that? Are you still a success?

Does having money or a good job really define success? Look at the actors and actresses or any of these famous stars today be it a singer or sport figure. Maybe they are successful at their job or sport and have money but are they successful in life? Do they have good marriages and happiness, are they good parents? Some maybe but how many times do you read in a magazine or see it on the news that they are going through a divorce or maybe their children have been removed, or better yet some of them have wound up in jail. Are these people successful? Maybe in one area of their life otherwise not really.

Success to me first has to come from you. Success in life means that you have acheived things in life that many aspire too. Mother Theresa was a success. She was not rich with money but she was rich with love and commitment. She was rich in faith and her belief in God. Her dedication and attitude toward life and people made her a huge success. She did not live in a big house or wear fancy clothes nor drive a mercedes but she was a very successful human being.

Success in life depends on you and it's on many levels. What I mean by this is the folloiwng; if you are married and have choosen a life partner that you are happy with. If you found that special person than you should appreciate them and in return they appreciate you. If you have children then giving them love and giving them what they need to be a success themselves. Whatever or whoever they may be maining, if you are fortunate to have a healthy child than do everything necessary to make sure they grow up to be good human beings and productive responsible adults. If they are disabled then doing the best you can and finding them the best help and assistance available to help them overcome or make the best of whatever it is they and you are faced with. Success means acceptance of dealing with the hand you have been dealt no matter what.

Success to me is being humble and realizing what it is you that you
