People measure it in terms of wealth, property or money.
Sometimes it's associated with achievements. Medals, positions or titles.
Family, children or friends are indicators of success for some.
Happiness, most certainly, is attached to it a lot.
Attainment of one's goal is defined as success but the most interesting definition I found was "the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors".
They all made sense but seemed incomplete.
I felt that those were shallow definitions of this multifaceted term. There was much more to it than that. Something was missing...and then it came to me..
Contentment is success. Coming to terms with one's own self is the biggest success. Doesn't matter if the world thinks of a person as a failure. As long as that person is at peace with the inner self, s/he is successful in this life.
