Success is having offspring that do better than you.

I think when you stop thinking about this question and not worrying about it. You're at ease with yourself and you are successful.

There's one single answer for success: peace of mind. (That entails many things, like financial security, comfortable work or none at all, play time, love, good health and happiness).

There is wisdom, thought, and humility behind your writing.

I'm pretty much notI've failed at obtaining long term romantic happiness but I've come to terms with this...

BS !!! grab life and shake-it

This thread reminds me of one of my favourite John Lennon stories/quotes. Here it is.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

I have a close family member who has a stable, decent job, one you don't come across easily, with a cushy salary, benefits package, and pension. This person is married, and owns a home. Successful?

This person isn't happy with anything. It doesn't matter what you say ... ("what a nice sunny day!")... this person will have something negative to say ... ("it's supposed to rain tomorrow").

I don't think success is all about having what you want, it's more about wanting what you have.

He's probably stuck in rotten marriage he can't get out of. That can make anyone miserable.

Sometimes these deep rooted feelings, are implanted earlier on in life.

Having the freedom to do what I enjoy.

Specifically I find my job fulfilling and have enough time and money to do things I like.

What is consider successful in life?
Get a dream job after graduate? Have a balance long like a telephone number in your bank account? Start a family? Or changing the world?

I am feeling kinda lost lately. Graduated few years ago, jobless and almost homeless for about half a year. Finally got the dream job most new grad would die to have, have a decent salary, and got a few promotions in short few years. Families and friends think that I am doing great and succeaaful. But personally I am feeling lost, i want to be succesaful but I am not sure if having a great job or making billions of dollar is it. And at the same time, I don't think I can be like Nikola Tesla (just a random example) who created electricity and change the world.

What do you think is consider successful?

be grateful babe... its ok to have those feelings of being lost or wanting more after all its what make us human. be proud of your small accomplishments and keep in mind that those lead to greater things.
one of my favourite books I read by Richard St John's discusses this, but whatever it is that make you whole you are the only one that knows what it is, be mindful

She is absolutely right !!! But I'm still waiting for my private DANCE :frusty:

About 30 years ago I started what most would consider to be a dream job and career. It turned out to be more like a prison sentence. Doing the time was personal agony, but it did provide my family with financial security and comfort. To them and those I know I am a success, but The truth is I'm a survivor, and that may be the only real success I can admit too.

Btw...I don't believe any 5 year old would make that sort of comment, including John Lennon.

 

[wyngarde]

When I fucked your mom's pussy last night, I considered that success in life.

 

[FearlessFreep]

Now that's a comment a 5 year old might repeat.

 

[Titalian]

I define success as being able to arrange a duo / threesome with less than a few hours of notice on a whim

Bro ! are you on the right thread??

 

[fuji]

Real success = happiness. It's different for everyone.

Perceived success = a high status job that earns good money.

Real success is quite a bit harder that perceived success.
