Success??

What would it take for a person to consider that they have had a successful life? Well, since I had a crummy day at work, I'm ready to move on to the next chapter of my life, and I kind of lonely, let's ponder this today. Now don't think of me as being depressed, because I'm really not. I just think it's time for a someone to step up and say what it is he/she feels.
Success, what is it?
Is it the feeling of acceptance from the people around you? What about the amount of people that work for you? I seen both the best supervisors, and the worse of them all, I'm talking about the bosses that can't do the job to save their life, the ones that can't make a coherent sentence either. How is that they keep getting promoted and giving jobs that others deserve? To me that is not success.

Is success the position a person has in the company or the money they make? Will money buy you happiness? Can you buy friends and family with it? Well we know that's not success.

What about happiness? Is feeling happy with your life success? I think we're getting warmer, but we're not quite there. You see, happiness is a product. It's a product of doing what you feel you need to do and doing what you want to do.

The best way to describe success, in my eyes, is to look at the position of those people around you. If you are a person that people enjoy being around, or people can't wait to see. Then you know you are a welcome sight. If the people do what they can to keep you around, just to make things work out better for everyone, then that is success.
I, personally, take my success from those around me, if they have learned from me and doing everything right, then I am successful. If they are happy with the choices that they make, then I am happy.

I am a successful man, and I always will be.
Till next time.
