RE: You Think You Know What Success Is?
A really good post @humanearl. I think success is not a general term, it has different meanings to different people. Success is best described by self satisfaction and being truly happy. Personal success comes in many different forms and your concept of being a success might not be the same as mine. If you want to be successful in your life, then the very first thing you should do is to take the time to decide exactly what “success” means to you. Never mind what it means to anyone else, what does it mean to you?
If the concept of being a personal success sounds good to you, take the first step today. Discover your personal definition of success and write it down . I promise that you will feel more successful immediately. Here’s the main point to take away from this post: Success is a multifaceted, personal concept. By defining what that concept represents to you personally, and by taking the time to write it down, you will automatically move your life in the direction of success.
PS: Success is the time when you fulfill all your dreams that you have ever dreamed.
Success is something we all have our own definitions of which I'm not sure is necessarily a good or bad thing. For example, let's say someone say's " I will be successful when I live in a mansion" but when they finally are living in a mansion they don't feel successful. Are they really successful then or is it an illusion?
I really think the idea of success becomes problematic when we tie it to material gain for example.
