"I feel like the Incredible Hulk. My back has been broke, and I can still walk. So be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it." Webster's dictionary defines success as the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame. Most people would define success that way. People look at famous people and they say "they are a success." Would you think I was crazy if I said you're wrong? People define success differently. "Success is being able to rest your head at the end of the night knowing you did your best and the people you love are happy and satisfied." - Shelby Griffin "Success is when you have done your absolute best and are satisfied with your results." - DRS and my personal favorite.... "Success is not measured by the amount of money you make, but is in the amount of happiness you acquire." - Jonathan William Sherbert How do I define success? I think success is something you could compare to beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. For what one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another. The same goes for success. What one person may think is successful another might find as a lonely empty life. I am the kind of person who could be dirt broke living paycheck to paycheck(kind of as I am now lol) and as long as I have my husband, my baby, and my family I think that makes me a success. I was in labor for 22 hours before finally giving birth to Matthew and I never gave up until he was here. To me that is a success. I keep my living space clean and manage a household while also caring for a family. That is a success. To some, these things may seem silly or trivial. Anyone can have a baby. Anyone can get married and start a family...and they're right on some level. Which brings me to my next point. You can be successful. If you put your mind to something there is nothing you can't accomplish. Even if you've given it your all and you can't seem to accomplish the task at hand, at least you tried. In my book, that is successful. Being famous or having money on end would be great, I won't lie. But this life I live now...the struggle, the smiles, the love, the fullness I feel is all the success in the world I could ever want. Success is in the eye of the beholder...how successful are you?(:
