When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

View all responses

I love the “success kid!” He is adorable and the expression on his face is a feeling we all strive for in life.

The word success, to me, is completely subjective. What I think of as successful another person may scoff at. That being said, my personal definition of success is to achieve a good headspace where you are content with where you are in life, but continue to strive for goals you set for yourself. Always keep moving forward.

Based on this definition, the first person that comes to mind is myself. Only I can determine my own success. I cannot decide if another person is successful, because I may think someone else is successful, but they themselves may not think they are. Every day, I get more and more “successful” at my own life, and it is hard but rewarding work!
