How should success be determined?

There are three main things in life that I find relevant and important to myself.
1. Happiness
2. Being loved/Loving someone
3. Having purpose in life.

As long as I have these three things in my life I feel that I am a success.

 

His response to your post just whooshed right over your head, didn't it.

 

I think it is in the eye of the beholder.
Someone thinks he is successful, while others see him as average man or failure.
Someone measures success only in money, others in kids, completed projects. So although there are some general things that are considered as success (having enough money, being happy, surrounded by people that love you) many have different measures for success.

 

No it did not, he just saw more in my response than was there and ran with it. Really making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Then again, perhaps he was motivated to trying to make his new thread more controversial.
By the way your question should have had a question mark at the end of it. Do you lack education?

 

It's a rhetorical question, genius.

And by the way, it's, "your question should have..."

And it's, "molehill."

Do you lack education?

 

Good catch on the "your", I've since edited. We are now 1 for 1. And we also have consensus on your usage of the word "genius". And we both agree that I am.

 

1) Write down your goal(s)on a piece of paper

2) tell someone about it so that they can hold you to it

3) place a time limit on the goal (there has to be some type of urgency)

4) if you complete the goal before your time limit, you have succeeded. Otherwise, you've failed

5) if you failed, start over again and continue until you succeed.

A lot of times, many little failures lead to one BIG success. Just make sure you improve after each failure.
