Great insight on the fact that our definition of success can change and I agree that it is influenced by the people around you. Your comment also made me think about the definition some more; it is important to assess that it is truly your definition of success and not some one elses whose approval you are seeking or based on “keeping up with the Joneses.”

I didn’t really have it defined, but it sounded good to me. When I was in my late teens my father asked what I meant by “successful”, and my first reply was that I would be rich. Later I redefined this with him and said I wanted to own a business, make a lot of money, and have the freedom to travel. I have had all this, to one extent or another, but over the years I believe I have needed to redefine what “success” means to me. Right now, success for me is more about having just what I need, and spending quality time with those I love. I also believe our lives are an average of the ten people we are closest too. To have the success we desire, we need to be around people we aspire to be like.
