How to judge success?

[Hilary B]

My Grandma has a plaque on wall(now feeling de ja vieu I've posted this before?~obviously important to me!!)"Happiness is wanting what you have,not having what you want"



I'll second that!

I don't think anyone should be judged as successful or a failure.

Success is not just one thing it's a series of setting goals and if they are achieved then you have sucked seed. Those goals can be anything not necessarily material.

Happiness is more important though you can have all the material things in the world and not be content or happy.

that sounds like fun ...... unfortunately it's illegal

Why is that exactly? I actually think it makes perfect sense. 3 husbands i mean......

I don't put the lottery on so I must be happy with my lot!

3? Oh no, one is quite enough trouble Actually he's the second one but you get my drift.

Success: Well my boys seem fairly balanced and well adjusted, so thats a definite plus.

Today my needs are met, I havent hurt anyone and it even stopped raining for a while so its a good day.
As for happiness I think thats determined by a positive attitude etc. Something I am woefully bad at doing
