Look across the dimensions of success (i.e. Professional, Economic/Financial, Spiritual, Relationships, Personal Physical, Mental/Intellectual)and consider how much of each of these you need or want in your life to consider yourself a success.  Society does not get to define the terms and conditions of your success, you do.  But also realize that these relative priority assignments are not fixed.  They flex and change depending upon where you are in your life and what becomes more important.  Just like athletes have seasons in which their focus and training changes, the relative importance of the dimensions of success changes for us as well.  The only balance we seek is that which makes us feel fulfilled.

Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live.  Anne Sweeney

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.  Maya Angelou

Success? I don’t know what that word means. I’m happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody’s eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That’s a good day for me.  Denzel Washington
