What is success?
Some people might think of it as having a lot of money. Some as having a big family. Others as getting out of bed in the morning regardless if they get dressed or not. For me success is attaining a better sense of my Self.
Was I successful last year in 2014? No. I was failing at everything I did except when I accepted my life coach's help and started learning to turn my life around. I was severely depressed and emotionally unstable. I was trying to live from ego and not living at all...almost permanently.
Have I achieved success in 2015? No. Not because I'm failing at everything, this year is quite the opposite. I've turned my ship around and almost everything I try works out really well. I haven't achieved success because I don't think that it is a static state to be reached.
Am I more successful? YES!! I have made more money this year than I've made in any year previously. I'm healthier physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually than I've ever been in my life. My relationship with my family is real, not forced and my relationship with myself is the happiest and healthiest it has EVER been!! Negative self talk, gone! Fear, anxiety, worry, gone!! Self destructive processes, mostly gone. I do have a weakness for gluten free baked goods, which doesn't help my waistline, but since it is my one vice I'm ok with that.
Can I get even more successful in 2016? Darn straight!! Every day, in every way everything is getting better and better. On paper someone else might not see my life as a success, but in my heart and soul I am at peace and that IS success to me!! Wealthy Affiliate has played a role in my feeling successful, for while I haven't actually published my website it is definitely coming along and I am happily learning the ropes!!

Well done Margarethe , the main thing is you know that it is you that is doing all this no one else and in the same way you thought that 2014 was a bad year you know that you turned it around and 2016 will be even better.
That is wonderful and you have it correct! Success is different for each and every person!
Keep striving and stay focused! Make it fun and you will keep moving forward!

That is absolutely the spirit (pun definitely intended)! Success is completely subjective. If YOU can achieve what YOU want, YOU are successful. Keep doing what you're doing :)
