Success

I read this recently on a very popular blog.

Many of our personal success aspirations have nothing to do with any “success†that an outsider would be able to measure. Our personal successes are often so deeply ingrained that we can’t quite put a finger on them ourselves. We don’t know why it’s so important to us to have that house with the dog – but we know that having a dog is really, really important.
Even more, we know that every day without that accomplishment, we haven’t made it yet. Until that dog is happily chasing dragonflies in the back yard, we are not a success.
Does it make sense? Maybe not. Maybe not to anyone else. But we all have these deeply personal markers of success. Some are tangible; some are not.
My thinking is that it’s worth dragging those markers of success out into the sunshine and taking a good, hard look at them.
It’s also worth putting them in order of priority.

So how do you define your success??
