Success

 

This is an elusive term because it means different things to different people; however, success is typically measured by:

• WEALTH
• POWER
• POSITION

For others, success is measured by:

• one's level of faith
• one's longevity
• one's family
• one's friends
• one's health
• one's giving back

If you subscribe to the latter form of measurement then the former form of measurement is somewhat, if not altogether MEANINGLESS.

I consider myself to be successful because I worked for 45+ years and pretty much did exactly what I wanted even though I never made a large annual salary.

My friends you could count on one hand but they were all loyal and lifelong

My accomplishments focused around making sure others had a good chance at being successful too.

At 77 years of age and before 2025 ends, I will be 78, I consider myself having led a successful life and have ended up with enough savings to pay my bills and very little else.

I am happy and have contentment and joy for the most part; joy comes and goes but I am motivated by having gratitude with the life I have been given.

For me, wealth, power, position are overrated concepts.
