I was told recently by somebody to "surround yourself with successful people and you too will be successful". I've done some thinking about this and would like to share my opinions with all of you.
Success as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary is "The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted". So for example, if someone plans to save $1000 dollars to buy something they desire and they achive that goal...Success! Or, If someone is trying to have a baby, and they achieve that...Success!. I believe success is subjective, like art. It's all in how you look a it. I believe I took a little offence to this comment, hence i'm venting on this forum. I do not own my home, i'm not a millionaire, I don't hire somebody to clean my house, but I have achived some goals. I own a vehicle, I have my own business, and most importantly, I am happy. Not content, but happy where I am, because I still have goals to achieve. I am successful in my eyes, not because I surround myself with successful people, but because I have made baby steps and been successful in little things.
Any thoughts?
