Success is an extremely subjective concept. What does it actually mean to be successful and what is involved to get there? This question has no concrete answer and will vary depending on what your goals are. What measures success for me may not be the same measure for you or the loved ones around you. How many times are you excited for an accomplishment that others have downplayed? What really matters and may be a great definition of success is that you are at a better place today than you were yesterday. You measure your own success by meeting the goals you place upon yourself be it financial, career, health, or educational.
