have which you've been blessed with. Being healthy and able bodied. Having the smarts to become someone. If you are fortunate then sharing with others and being generous when ever you can be. I don't mean that you should allow people to take advantage of you but if you have been blessed with good fortune or you have been able to achieve more than others or the average person than find a way to give back and to help others. To me being successful means to never take anything or anyone for granted.

Living a good and happy life with your friends and family. That's success. You don't have to be rich or have a great job to be successful. If you own a home than you make it a happy home. Maybe you don't work but your husband does and you are a great wife and great mother, you're a success. Being a great husband providing for your family and spending quality time with your wife and kids. Being a great father if you have children. Being good to your parents and siblings. All of this makes a person a success. Doing a good job at work no matter what the job is. Becoming a good role model.

Success is not how much money you have in the bank or what your net worth is.If you can make the best of what you have no matter what it i than you are a success.. If you can do your best and live your life to its fullest and best and feel good about yourself than you are a success. Success is being content with yourself. It's being happy with who you are as a person.

What happens sometimes is our expectations are unrealistic and we think that success is something more than what we have. If we can just appreciate what it is that we have and be grateful than we are successful. This does not mean that you don't try to excel in life or be a better person. Success is setting realistic goals for yourself and achieving them. It's not about what others want from you, it's what you want for yourself. Maybe your parents want you to be a brain surgeon but you want to be social worker. Whatever it is that will make you happy what ever it is that you find fulfilling than you should try to attain it. As long as you are being reasonable and realistic the chance is you will be a success. If you are happy being a painter or a barber than you are a success. If you are happy and content doing wha ever it is that you do than you have found success as long as you are not hurting anyone.
