I think being successful is when you have a value system in place; when you follow those values; not get into intrapersonal conflicts; when you are in harmony with yourself; when you resonate with the universe; when you have contentment, when you have satisfaction in a job well done and not merely follow the rules set by others. When you act in consonance , with meaning and purpose. Success cannot be pursued, nor can happiness be chased. As Frankl said, they can only ensue.

When I introspect and ask myself, "Am I successful ?"; I find it hard to describe! Because "being successful" is dynamic and situational.Success can mean different things to different people. I may have name and fame, but no money; I may have name, fame, a fantastic career and money but no good health or personal life; I may have money, great friends and family, but no time to spend with them; I may have none of those mentioned, but I am peaceful.Presently, I am having a great time at work. But I am suffering a lousy back ache, which is killing me. I am terrified about it and worried. I feel there is nothing like having a fit body and peaceful mind. I crave for it. The day I find them both, should be "Success" for me.Finishing my morning household chores, seeing my kid off to school on time and reaching office at 10.am is "mission accomplished". And getting back home without getting stuck in traffic is "heaven". The routine stuff gives me a feeling of success for that moment.So again, when I ask myself, Am I successful?...I really don't know.I request my readers to enlighten me, by telling me "what success means to you". Please folks, be good and answer...see ya.
