What is true Success?

I don't have any idea what to write about. Good thing is I saw @JonicaBradley writing prompt about success. So maybe I can try writing about it.

Please, bear with me, I will honestly admit that I'm not good on constructing sentences and maybe some of the part of this article are gramatically wrong.

Success

When you look at the definiton of the word success on the merriam-webster dictionary, it is defined as:

a: degree or measure of succeeding

b: favorable or desired outcome

also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence

Simple definition, right?

But how can you define success on your own?

Maybe you will answer that you are successful if you earn a specific amount of money. You are successful when you make a million dollars, when you buy your dream house, or when you obtain your dream job.

But, some people depending on where they are in life and what they want, each person will have a different response.

There are numerous ways to define success. I'd like to give some definitions of success from various aspects of life, such as employment, health, and personal achievement.

Success is having a plan

Some people believe that making a specific amount of money is a measure of success. They are successful if they make half a million dollars. They may also define it as reaching a certain milestone. Purchasing the home of their dreams. Getting the job of their dreams.

I have a different perspective on success. Having a predefined plan and successfully implementing it over a lengthy period of time is my definition of success.

And, most importantly, having a good time while doing it. That's all there is to it.

Money isn't the measurement of success

Money isn't a good indicator of success! You are not successful, at least not to yourself, if you make a lot of money doing a job you don't like. You are NOT successful if you make a lot of money but never help your children with their schoolwork! You are NOT successful if you earn a lot of money but never have time to spend with your parents!

The satisfaction of your thoughts is a good indicator of achievement. Success is measured by the smiles on your loved ones' faces. Success is measured by your peace of mind when you go to bed at night!

Money is essential! Money is required to have a happy life. However, money isn't everything! You've stated that you make enough money to live comfortably, and believe me when I say that's enough! There is no end to luxury! You can't be wealthy enough to believe that you don't require additional funds! Even the world's wealthiest man is looking for more money! So don't even think about being wealthier! You are sufficiently wealthy if you have enough money to feed your family, educate your children, and assist them in building their future.

Ask yourseldlf, are you happy? If yes, the I congratulate you because that is what success truely is.
