What does that word even mean?

I have a question for you that I've been trying to answer for myself.

Putting aside success in a career, hobbies, or personal accomplishments in your opinion,

how could you judge success for yourself?

Is a husband or a father, or a son, or a daughter, a mother?

What does that even mean?

That's a question on an email I got today.

And I'm going to dive into it because it's an interesting concept.

Success is something that is, that's term is so widely used and yet it's still so mysterious

because so many people define that word in so many different ways, like your boss or your

teacher might look at success for you differently, or your parent, or your grandparent, or your

kid, might look at that differently for you or themselves.

And success is defined so many different ways for that individual.

So how do you call yourself successful?

And people struggle with that.

We all struggle at some level with defining our own success.

Like, is it because of accomplishments in your career?

Is it because you have so many kids, or is it because you're married for so many years,

or is it because you stayed single?

What does success mean?

And when you start diving into that subject, and you start stripping away everything, it's

actually amazing how much we all have in common for the core idea of success.
