What is Success to YOU?
"Success isn’t about how your life looks to others. It’s about how it feels to you."
~ Michelle Obama
Hi Folks,
The above quote (from Michelle Obama) was shown to me tonight and wanted to ask you what exactly is Success to YOU?
For me, success is about tiny consisitant milstones and how each compound each other and grow daily.
Over to you!What is success to you and how does it make you feel!?
Remember.. this isn't about what you want, but what success you have accomplished!

Being able to do anything without worrying about the cost, that would really be success for me.
It's that satisfaction in knowing, with growth from my hard work in becoming someone that cares about others and their needs. To also know, I am debt free and also providing others of what I've learned to get there, so they may live their dreams of a better future for their families.
Success isn't always about the bank roll you have in your wallet, even though I did think this at first.
I know from what I've learned here at WA, that the new way success is supposed to be determined in life, is by your good deeds towards others, then the professionalism of my business will shine through and reach millions in the world, as long as I keep thinking like this and pushing forward into the satisfaction of paying it forward.
"this isn't about what you want, but what success you have accomplished!"
Might sound 'cheesy' but you asked.
From the age of about sixteen, I wanted my own family. To have children and be able to afford them a better childhood than I had. Both my wife and I shared the same sentiment and we have achieved that.
We will always be 'successful' because of that. Anything else is just 'icing' on the cake.
Love this, I read a book called The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson, and one of the examples he gives is about a child learning to walk and how eventually we do it without thinking, but along the way we have setbacks until we master walking. Success is the same to me, achieving every small milestone in every part of my life. Tipping the scales constantly in an upward motion, until each successful action becomes a habit.
Have a great day
Denise.
Success to me is giving it all you got, and work hard on it as much you can. Your rewards will come later.
Thanks a lot, Magistudios. Yes, I have been known to be direct and forward in some cases lol.

To me, 1st stage of success is to leave the 9-5 job and become able to provide myself and my closest ones with a decent life.
In generally, I love the thought from think and grow rich which goes something like:
Being successful means to get everything from life what one asks for, without violating the rights of others.
In another words, to know what you want and how to get it, along with providing a value for others.
My personal dream is to build a kindergarten somewhere in Africa and/or supply water to place where needed
(I mean close to that kindergarten :) )
