This is What Success Looks like ...

Success shouldn’t mean excelling in your job, love or getting lots of money. Success is a way of life. It affects every corner of your day-to-day life. You see successful people all the time, and not all of them have a smile on their face. But here are some “measurements” of success you might consider for your own life.

7

Job Satisfaction

Job Satisfaction Since your job is going to take up a significant portion of your life, it is a good idea to have job satisfaction. That in itself may be a cornerstone of your personal success, especially if you are working on a career or a job that you love (and/or are passionate about).

8

Good Friends

Good Friends Having friends does not create success, but it certainly makes success a lot easier. Plus, it can be fun and reassuring to have friends.

9

An Active and/or Fulfilling Sex Life

An Active and/or Fulfilling Sex Life Some people go their entire lifetime and the only thing they are ever good at is something they can only share with one person. Nevertheless, an active and fulfilling sex life is a common goal, and ergo commonly viewed as an indicator of success.

10

The Love of Your Pets

cartoon, play, mural, art, screenshot, So many people neglect their pets because they view them as a low priority in their lives. If you are able to put aside your own life and dedicate quality time to a pet, then it indicates that you have your life in order and are therefore at least partially successful.

11

Pleasure in Fulfilling Your Smaller Goals

cartoon, play, screenshot, illustration, FYS, Practice fulfilling your smaller goals so you become more efficient at fulfilling your bigger goals. There is also a lot of pleasure to be pulled from achieving your smaller goals. A completed to-do list is rather satisfying.

12

Fulfilling Your Larger Goals

Fulfilling Your Larger Goals It is good to know that the years you have put in, the work you have done, and the suffering you have gone through has been worth it. Successful people work on their long-term/ larger goals every single day.

13

Surviving to See Another Birthday

Surviving to See Another Birthday You cannot be happy and successful if you are not grateful for what you have, and the one thing you should be most grateful for is the gift of life.

14

Success Means Being Grateful for What You Have

Success Means Being Grateful for What You Have Happiness starts with gratitude, and most people link happiness with success. Most people are completely ungrateful of all the blessings they have in life and for all the things they have worked for. That is why so many people only recognize the value of something or someone when he/she/it is gone.

15

Pride in What You do and the Ability to Sleep Well at Night Because of It

mural, cartoon, art, play, illustration, The most successful people are not the happiest, but they do take a lot of pride in what they do. Do you honestly think somebody becomes the “best” at doing something while simultaneously pulling their work down? Successful people are critical of themselves, but their criticism is based on the fact that they take so much pride in their work.

16

Successful People Take the Blame as Readily as They Take the Praise

Successful People Take the Blame as Readily as They Take the Praise A successful person knows there is much to be learned from praise and much to be learned from mistakes. A successful person treats both with equal passion.

17

The Ability to Enjoy Yourself on Rare Occasions

The Ability to Enjoy Yourself on Rare Occasions Successful people are so focused and work so hard that they rarely enjoy themselves. A person that indulges too much will often become a failure. A person that doesn’t indulge at all will often burnout.

18

Knowing That Your Sacrifice is Worth It

Knowing That Your Sacrifice is Worth It Maybe it is the scrimping you did before you had kids to be sure you owned a house first, or maybe it is the exercise you did to ensure you do not have a cottage cheese ass. Sacrifice and struggle go hand-in-hand with success, but it is worth it.

19

Having Values and Respect for My Values

cartoon, mural, play, art, illustration, A person without values is a person without a moral compass. You would save a drowning baby from an icy river because you value the life of a baby over your own. A person without values would walk on by and figure it isn’t her problem.

20

Gratitude when I Am Proven Wrong

Gratitude when I Am Proven Wrong There are liberals and republicans around the US that haven’t changed their minds since college. They are fools! A successful person is happy to be proven wrong because it gives them more to think about and more to learn. People do not tend to create opinions from a bad place. Most people think that their thoughts and opinions are right and morally sound. To be proven wrong doesn’t make you a bad person, it just means you have the capacity to grow and become better than you are. There are few people with this gift, so you should be grateful if another person brings a more valid argument or proves you wrong.

Amazing article :)

Family and friends success indeed!

Great Article

Does it mean im 50€% looser 😟😒😫

I don't need a man to be successful.

@kris i get your point.. But i think the idea of this article is not particularly what you've just mentioned, its more of defining Success is getting what you want, therefor happiness is wanting what you get. All in all, its your success and its your own perspective:)

Nice article!! And amazing pics..👌🏻

I agree success does mean all of that and more , if u have this ur happy if ur happy ur successfull !

I couldn't disagree more. Success should mean that you can make yourself happy...ALL the time. Success does NOT depend on a sex life, nor does it depend on your "pets". Success doesn't mean you make "x" amount of money. You define your OWN success, success is not dependent on other people.

Thank God, I'm succesful! All of this was true for me
