How do you define success?

photo by Sami Aksu
The dictionary defines success as…
the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one’s goals.
the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
a performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors
a person or thing that has had success, as measured by the attainment of goals, wealth, etc.
I define success as…
Doing your best in all your endeavors
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses
Being available when needed
Giving what you have to those in need
And most importantly,
Loving others even if you don’t like them
Beautiful words Patricia!
Thank you!
I like your definition of success. Well done!
Thanks!
Most welcome, Patricia.
Great definitions even though the final one can be a bit of a challenge!
It is a challenge but an important one!
Really good one – your blog prompts have sparked your creative juices this month!
I have really enjoyed.
Thank you for the encouragement!
I just wrote to you about your talent for brevity…your economy of words. The first definition was so messy next to yours..
Doing our best in all that we do as our weaknesses and strengths accompany us, is the only way to hold on to our peace. Loving those who aren’t easy to love, an ongoing challenge. I’m sighing.
This was great. Will look forward to todays. 🙂
Loving those who aren’t easy to love is so important. I think they are the ones that need lots of love because chances are they don’t feel loved and are afraid of being rejected by others.
Like that Robin Williams quote
