How do you measure success in life? Are you successful compared to your peers?
For all those who claim that you cannot measure your success against someone elses...you're doing it wrong. :D Of course you can. I have been very successful compared to some of my peers. But a few of them are much higher achieving than I. I place myself a few points higher than the average over all but in my peer group I am not doing so well.

I don't look at success as being anything of material worth. And I don't compare my life to others and what someone else has or doesn't have. Success, to me, comes from within and how I view myself and my accomplishments, what I have learned through falling, and what remains in my heart.

Sucess is not comparing yourself with others. Being your own best competitor is the best way to measure your own success. I found someone I absoultly love to share my life with. I have wonderful children that rock my world. I live peacefully for the most part, in a beautiful place I call home. God is my strength, Jesus is my savorior, the holy spirit leads my soul. To come to a place in my life where I am at peace within myself, because I love my life and the people in my life. That is success.

I am now retired after thirty years with my last place of employment. I have led a charmed life as far as having a job. With the exception of a month of loafing after leaving the Navy, I was never unemployed. I have always been able to pay my bills on time and keep a roof over my head. I am not rich by any means. I live in a modest apartment. Everything I have is paid for. I have the respect of my family and friends. I believe I have attained a measure of success.
