Success....We read books about it, we watch infomercials, work really hard to get it, and keep it, and maybe show it off a little. But what is it exactly ?
The world tells us it is a good job. Making a lot of money. Driving a fancy new car. Knowing someone important. Making something happen. It's being stylish. Being popular. Being in charge. Or is it something else altogether ? Something you can't put your finger on. Something almost impossible to describe. Something different for everyone, depending on who you are, where you are and when.
Success is a journey... A big one. Success can be personal growth, realizing your imperfections, your strengths, your ability to connect with people on different levels. Success can be measured by many things, personally it means caring for people and giving my heart to them without expectation of that in return, it means to me standing up for an injustice, admitting I am wrong if I have overstepped or assumed incorrectly. Success can be achieved everyday in little ways. I am lucky I can call my self successful, and not meaning by ways of money. I measure my success in so many ways, everyday. You can too..

Well said Tracey. In regards to your statement "without expectations. To me successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. While unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me? Success should not be pursued, it should be attracted by the person you become.

This hit a nerve Tracey. So many people don't really know what the true meaning of success is. Success for me equals to happiness. If you, your spouse or neighbor is happy, they are truly successful. CJames.. I hear you loud and clear. Love this secret. Thank you for sharing.

Tracey, I really like your take on this. I think a lot of people have a very skewed definition of the word (i.e. that success is defined only by money, status, and material things). Success has a different definition depending on whom you talk to. I don't want to say anyone has the wrong definition, but a lot of people come close to it in my opinion. Being successful isn't having a six-figure salary and a corner office - it's being able to say that you maintained your integrity and helped someone out along the way. Success is being happy with who you are and what you're doing with your life; it's learning from your experiences; it's about being a good and unselfish person, and maybe even making a perfect stranger’s day a little bit easier. Success is the journey, not the destination. To those people who *think* they’re successful, ask yourself this question, ‘Did I make someone smile today?’
