standing up for what you believe in, all of these are actions of someone who has success. Success is about reaching beyond yourself, regardless of the outcome. "Nothing beats a failure, like a try" it has been said.

A successful life seems to have more than money and notoriety within it. The definitions point the way. Without Love, there is no real success, because this is what makes human beings truly happy. If you are worth millions but there is no love in it for you, are you successful? If you have "everything" in the world, but would rather be an unknown, instead of inside every tabloid, do you have success? And, if everyone else thinks of you as a success, but you do not feel that it is so, would you honestly want success then?

Maybe it has more to do with the every day ups and downs and how one navigates each winding road through life. And although, no one can always be happy, or receive every result that is desired, everyone can ask and answer these questions for themselves. Some answers are more readily available than we imagine.

To love, and to be loved, making a difference in another person's life, doing something for the good of it, taking pleasure in the every day, sharing what you have, living each day to the best of your ability, these are some of the things that are closer to re- defining what makes up a successful life. The impression that we leave behind in the memories and hearts of others, also holds a key. There is a place within each of us where success, cannot be taken away, and it has never been contingent on the wavering flame of finance or of fame.
