Success / What Does It Mean?

Being a success. What does it actually mean? Does it mean having all the money you could ever hope for? Does it mean living in a lavish home or driving an expensive vehicle?  Does it mean being able travel the world whenever your heart's desire? Does it mean graduating from college with a bunch of letters behind your name? Does it mean having your dream job or even your own business?

Many will say yes to some if not all of the above and I can see why because that's how most were taught. But is there more to it? Why do material items determine if we get labeled a success or not? Now please don't take me wrong; I think it's great to be able to buy nice things and travel the world as you choose.

I think if you ask most people if they rather live in a lavish home in a nice neighborhood with a two car garage they would all say yes. Who wouldn't? But does that mean a person that can't afford those luxuries but living comfortably is not a success? I say no.

If you are living in home or even an apartment in an area that's not deemed as upper class and have decent transportation to take where you want to go, and you are happy with the status of your life, in my eyes you are a success. I've always felt that way.

Being successful to me means being happy and content with what you've accomplished and your status in life. If you are; what can anyone say?

Just my thoughts
