Not trying to be difficult, but what type of success do you mean? There are so many.

I think success includes the courage to keep moving forward, in spite of all the difficulties. And to keep going, when you see no light at the end of the tunnel. I feel that I have succeeded through another "shift" when Colleen is asleep, the washing and dishes are clean, and she had her food and medicine. Some may regard this as nothing, but to me it is another small success!

In my family life with husband, kids, sonsinlaw, grandkids, I feel there is success, but do not give myself credit for it. Im blessed.

Financially, no success. Barely getting by in our 50s. To succeed, we need to greatly reduce our spending. Live way beneath our means.

I think it takes tenacity, or perseverance, persistence, and stick-to-it-iveness.

What about you?

Success depends on the individual. What is "success" to one person is not to another.

Some consider success as acquiring lots of wealth; a fancy house; being prominent in society; holding a lofty position in business; having the ability to do anything they want and not have to consider the price tag; living the "Jet-Set" life of leisure; this is just some definitions of what some consider having reached success;

For others it's having what they need which is adequate, and a even a few things that they want, though even at that it's enough; being satisfied/content with what one has and feeling they are lacking nothing; having a roof over one's head though the dwelling may be modest or in heavy need of repair; having a husband or wife, and children; having a job though it may not be what one would necessarily prefer to be doing; having genuine friends who care enough to check in from time to time just to see if anything is needed or just need to talk; having a little money in the bank at least enough to cover the bills; having food on the table, electricity to enjoy TV and luxuries like running water (especially having hot water) and being able to do laundry in the convenience of one's home (folks there are many who don't have these basics of conveniences that so many of us enjoy) being able to look back on the day and think, I believe I did the best I could with it, given what I had to do with;

many, many would consider themselves reaching the height of success in this way. To lay one's head on the pillow at night and rest in peace, without worry.

I like this attitude of success better than the former. This is the one I'm shooting for. The former is nice; but I think the later is richer in success.
