How would you define success? - February 13th 2022, 03:10 AM

Some people define success as finding a career they like, getting married/having a family, or others. What does success look like for you?
For me, I'm trying to figure it out still. I am trying to shift away from career-focused success, and know that I just want to be happy. But, I'm still forming what that looks like.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

This is a good question. In almost every aspect of my life, I have achieved what I want. The only things I'm focusing on now is being 'job happy' and finished my teaching degree.

I'm still trying to figure out what success means. For me, I think it's more about being happy than successful.

I am not sure what success for me means. I'd define success as just having a job

I'm still working on defining it too, but for right now it means earning enough money to comfortably meet my obligations; hopefully some day at a job I like better. I don't need a lot by any means, but I want to earn enough to not stress over it.
And a partner would be nice. I used to want kids, but I don't think I do anymore, but there will definitely be at least one cat.

For me, success is when you do something that people can't easily replicate. It can be applied in every way

Re: How would you define success? - May 4th 2022, 11:22 AM

For most of my life, success just meant passing exams and doing well. Yeah, I (mostly) did that, but that's all I did.

For me, I think success is more about achieving what I actually want to do. Not stuff that I have to do or should do. I also think that success is also more about being happy or content with life. I don't need a lot to succeed in my life. But what I do what is a job that I can do and am happy with, enough to get paid to live, and long lasting, deep friendships and possibly a relationship too. Having a family is something that interests me too but that's a bit more complicated.
