Success

 Do you consider yourself SUCCESSFUL? 

I have been reflecting on this for a few days now and doing some self-evaluation too. 

In fact, I sat down and made a list of the areas where I feel I am rather successful. That surely made me feel pretty good. 

 However, I was not surprised to note, that there are quite a few areas , where I can definitely do better.

I guess a lot depends on what SUCCESS means to you. 

Is success, peace of mind? 

Is it material gain? 

Is it having all you desired and more? 

Is it a great family life?

Is it social recognition?

Is it an accomplished aim?

Are you successful when you do not fail? 

Does it have something to do with achievement? 

Can we compare levels of success? – If I did a better job than you did, was I more successful? 

Does success have anything to do with age and circumstances? 

Is success the journey or the destination? 

Is success a state of the mind? – I feel I am successful, but in someone else’s eyes, I may be a failure. 

Is success self-acceptance or achievement?

Does success have anything to do with winning? 

Is it just a perspective? 

Should we live for success? 

After quite a lot of pondering, this is what I came up with 

Success is a very personal mindset. It is a journey of self-definition, self-discovery and self-belief. It is about our own desires and sense of fulfillment. Above all, it has a lot to do with the emotional connection we have with ourselves.

Would love to hear what you have to say. By the way, do feel free to disagree.
