Success is the relationships you build with people and the experiences you have with them. It’s not job titles and money. Certain job titles get you more money and more money makes certain experiences possible, but pandemic lockdowns showed us the simple pleasures of experiences that don’t require a significant investment.

Success is not by what you do but how you are able to overcome obstacles.  You could be a millionaire and still be be successful-

To me, the definition of a successful life has changed since I was younger. I always thought that in order to be successful you needed a six-figure income, a huge house, a boat, be attractive, and have tons of money. Now I realize that being successful means being happy. It means having a job that you enjoy, being surrounded by friends and family who support you and having the ability or time to chase your passions outside of work and home life.

A successful life is fulfilling and balanced

# data[].attributes.body
Whatever you do, work hard and be the best you can at it. Starting out is was find one area to focus, and build a path in that area. Now it has evolved into having a family & career, but try as many new things along the way. Skills are the new currency.

Meaningful work.  First you have to figure out what meaningful work is for yourself.

Being able to change your definition of success.

Success is when you are able to get what you need AND what you want.  It's when you are in charge of your life, not at the mercy of demands.

# data[].attributes.body
You can measure a successful life by calculating whether you are positively influencing those around you -- family, friends, and colleagues -- in their lives and careers. It's not about how much money you make or how nice a car you drive.

# data[].attributes.body
Success to me means you can end everyday well fed, healthy, and surrounded by loved ones. It is not defined by wealth or the size of one's assets.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to equate success solely with salary. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to value my time so much more than I used to. I recently took a job where my salary was less than it might have been elsewhere, but it's more than enough to live comfortably and my job is low stress with a lot of time off. I now equate success with having the time, energy, and resources to do the things I love, both at work and outside it.

Successful life is if what you do matters. Money matters, but you work a lonnnngggg time. You need more than a paycheck to keep you going.

A successful life is filled with people you love and where you feel you have done something meaningful in the world.

Being able to look in the mirror and appreciate what you have done, accomplished and overcome.

I would define a "successful" life as one where I am happy, healthy, and surrounded by loved ones. I think that I always had that idea, but it has evolved to a more wholistic view over time.

# data[].attributes.body
Being happy.  When I was in college, I thought 'success' meant a powerful title/career, huge paycheck, and fancy home.  Now I know it means living with conviction, being surrounded by good people, and doing what I love.  Money comes and goes, but happiness is what we make of it, and what life is really about.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, the life is successful when I achieve my goals and help others achieve their goals.

Being grateful for the good people in one's life and this has changed considerably!  Used to think it was the career and attainment that defined a successful life but now I see that it is the small things, friendship and family that make a successful life

# data[].attributes.body
Happy with oneself, and having a strong support of people that care about you in your life.

Today:  peace.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, the measure of success is happiness.  From a young age, it was clear to me that wealth and privilege wasn't enough.  What was not yet clear to me was how hard it is to find happiness without the benefit of wealth and privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
Success would mean keeping your eye on what truly matters, but also keeping yourself honest by scheduling little benchmarks to achieve. You may not reach them, but progress is the goal, not perfection.

# data[].attributes.body
Live your life with purpose, empathy and kindness. Learn to give back in order to move forward!  As the seasons of your life change so will how you define success.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful life for me is one in which all your needs are met and you are content/happy. My definition has definitely changed over time. It used to be about having a successful career that pays well, then it was about having a family. I have finally come to realize that different people value different things. So in the end, as long as you have the things that you need in order to be happy then you have a successful life.

# data[].attributes.body
Successful is happy to me. If I’m feeling good I’m doing it right. This has taken on different meanings everyday and also takes work everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
Success is doing what you love, while being paid a livable wage or salary for it, and being surrounded by people who love and support you no matter what.  This definition has changed because in the past I don't think I included ENJOYING ones work as part of success.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful life is one you love participating in. As much as is possible, you fill it with people and experiences that bring you joy.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful life is learning who you are, where you are destined to go, and traveling the right road(s) to get there.  Along the way, this success involves fostering courage and development in yourself, consideration and love for others, and contributing to the greater good for humankind.

It used to concern money, now it concerns time spent with people I care about doing things we enjoy.

# data[].attributes.body
A life surrounded by good people and companionship, as a result of your ability to foster positive relationships. Life experiences over the years has opened my eyes to life priorities and what defines success. Being surrounded by good people and positive relationships empowers me and creates confidence to take risks, embracing who I am personally and professionally. It has taken a long time to recognize this and the learning continues.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, people find and feel success in what seems like an infinite number of ways. I would say having a clear sense of what matters to oneself and others and then being able to fulfill that sense through one’s actions - that could be called successful living.

# data[].attributes.body
Having loving relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Liking yourself even with human flaws; ultimately finding meaningful work; learning from the letdowns; having strong relationships with friends and when possible family; and giving and getting support by supporting others with your time and emotional presence.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, a successful life is one where my basic needs are met and I am passionate about what I do and who I spend time with.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful life for me means happiness and being fulfilled.  In terms of a successful career, that is one where I feel valued, make a difference for others, am knowledgeable, am confident, and feel challenged but not overwhelmed, and I am always am learning new things.

There was a study years ago that found that monetary success had a limited correlation to happiness.  After the point that one could comfortably pay their bills, live in a place they enjoyed, take care of their families, save for retirement, and enjoy leisure time (i.e. take a vacation and not work 60 hours a week), there was no added happiness with added income.  People do need enough to sustain themselves and money does make life easier, but it does not work as an end in itself.  Relationships and being a member of the community are what provide happiness at every level of income.  Find something you enjoy that allows you to take care of the necessities of life, but savor the relationships you have with family and friends.  Extend that to doing something for others and you  will find yourself pleased with your life.

A successful work life is building a career that doesn't feel like work but continues to foster the same passion you felt from the beginning. Learning to risk and trust the process leads to even greater fulfillment.

# data[].attributes.body
Joy in work and relationships. Money has little to do with what makes us happy.

Success is living out purpose, loving those around you and giving back.
It will change each time you obtain a goal, read something new or try a new opportunity.

Being "successful" does not necessarily mean doing well financially. In my opinion, to be "successful" means that you enjoy what you do, that you are making a positive contribution to society, and that you have developed the ability to get along with coworkers, bosses, etc, by being respectful and by holding your own.

# data[].attributes.body
The degree to which one's movement through life aligns with one's beliefs and values, flexibility and curiosity (maintaining beginner's mind / attitude of not-knowing), giving and receiving love, experiencing connection and belonging, leaving things better than we find them. Being the change we hope to see in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe 'success' has little to do with material or monetary things. Maybe success isn't the goal but instead it is: meaningful relationships, community, and finding contentment in ordinary moments.

# data[].attributes.body
A life that is expressive of my own values, commitments, priorities and concerns. A life that is expressive of my particular way of being in the world.

I think a successful life means a fulfilled one and that may change over time as your passion and goals may change or redevelop.

# data[].attributes.body
Forget about what society, social media, your parents, or your friends define as "successful", whether that's about personal goals (e.g., marriage, kids), financial goals (e.g., owning a home), or professional goals. Make your own goals. Chart your own path. YOU are the creative force of YOUR life.

# data[].attributes.body
I fear that thinking of a "successful life" as one's outcome can set you up for feeling unsuccessful if you do not accomplish specific goals. I prefer to think about doing the best I can at any point in time in my life, realizing that there are always challenges along with accomplishments.

# data[].attributes.body
Life is successful if you are contributing to the lives of others -- i.e., making a better life and community for other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Enough to live comfortably with as little financial stress as possible. Since most people do not like their jobs, a job that allows you a work/life balance becomes more important as you age, have children, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a happy and productive member of society.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful life includes family, friends, belief in yourself, planning and taking risks. Find work that you love and you will feel like you never work a day. Don't let work keep you away from moments of joy with loved ones. Those moments can never be gotten back; work will always be there. Be responsible, but do not limit yourself with too many rules. Don't be afraid to live outside of the box a little. Do not live beyond your means but have fun! The key, I guess, is finding balance!

After graduation, I started my career as a journalist.  At the time, "success" meant working in New York City.  I achieved that goal by the age of 25, which at the time, was a young age to work in a New York City newsroom.  In fact, as a producer, my copyeditor was a former writer for Walter Kronkite.  I was fortunate to not only learn from him, but observe him as well.  Clearly, if I was looking for success, this was it.  While I made many incredible connections at this early stage of my career, I also made a very important realization - that people who aspired to be "at the top," were not always the happiest people. As the years have given way to decades since that experience, I believe that the definition of success is a very personal, and very individualized one. Success is what YOU want in life, not what others want OF you.  As I got older and had a family, for me, success was being able to continue to work full-time but also "be there" for my children.  That may not have been someone else's definition of success, but it was for me.  If it suits you and your life, then that to me, is the true definition of success.

Having personal goals and pursuing them. It's about creating a life style, not just making money. How do you invest your time? With who? Doing what? Create a situation where you have choices.

Success means different things to different people but I think it is figuring out what your gifts are and sharing them with the world in a way that makes you feel fulfilled.
Sometimes you need a certain job for the money, or proximity, etc. But eventually if you can be happy in what you do and enjoy it, that makes it not feel like work and you are a success.

When I first
Entered the workforce at age 22, I defined a successful life by having a job that came with benefits, a place to live, and good friends.
As I’ve aged, the definition has changed: success can be measured in many ways but I think a successful life depends on what we each give to others, whether it be our families, our communities, our jobs, etc. Volunteering has been an integral part of my life in the last 20 years. Giving to others makes people happy, as well as the person giving 😊

A successful life to me is one that I am happy, content, and healthy. A high paying job would make me feel successful in a career, but being happy as an individual makes me successful in life. In my earlier adolescence, I would have said that having a high paying job would make me successful, however I place more importance on happiness now.
