What is success?

Is it money? Is it power? Is it a large number of friends?  Is it a beautiful family?  Is it fame?

You know that feeling you get inside right after you’ve achieved a goal you’ve worked on for so long?

That’s success.

Being truly happy with your life.

That’s success.

Being able to wake up every morning and be excited for what the new day will bring.

That’s success.

To appreciate everything you have, no matter the size, no matter the level of importance.

That’s success.

To make a difference in at least one person’s life.

That’s success.

To make the world even just a little bit better of a place.

That’s success.

To look in the mirror and be proud of the person you see.

That’s success.

But most of all, to leave this world with no regrets, knowing that you got everything you could out of each and every day that you were alive.

That’s success.

But in the end, success is what you want it to be, that’s the beauty of it.  You define success.  If you think you’re successful, you are.  If you think you are not, then you’re not.  You hold the pen.  So start defining success for yourself today.

And if you're having trouble beginning, here's an easy way to start:

Do what you gotta do.

Live Life Every Day.
