What the definition of success is and what meaning it holds in your life is telling you how successful you are. However, you still need to work to get reasonable satisfaction with your beliefs on success. This helps you shape your future as a successful person.
Notably, the way your goals are different from other people’s, your vision of success is not the same as well. People develop happiness from various sources, and so is a success.
It may be defined as being rich and financially stable to someone while another one sees it as building a warm and happy social life.
Don’t mimic other people’s success
You may try to resonate with other people’s prospects of success and try to mimic them. This leads you nowhere. You may succeed to be like them, but at a certain point, you will find it aimless. Your needs and theirs are not the same and your emotional or material satisfaction will call for something else.
Every life on this Earth has its small world. There is something that fits you which will not be suitable for another person’s life. Don’t get fooled by your surroundings and end up climbing the wrong ladder. Don’t copy someone’s dream mistaking it for yours and become another person’s version of success.
Give yourself time to pause and consider your needs, to set your definition of success. You have a life filled with success and failure experiences. Revisit the most prominent events to figure out the most relevant definition of success.
Your definition of success is not clear
When your definition of success is not clear, you can’t spot it right away. Sometimes you look deep into your life and see things that seem for others, progress, but for you, they are not. Then, you start believing you are not making any improvement.
Success may be disguised in another that can’t be recognized at the right time. We all fall into this trap, we don’t see the far-fetched goals and judge based on what is recognized at a certain moment. This leads many people to false results and consequently doubt their decisions.
Temporary desires may fascinate some lies in your eyes to see them as truth. Based only on those feelings, you cannot build a whole plan and spend time pursuing it, or it will be wasted time.
It’s great to pay attention to your passion and try to cheer yourself, but never forget to consider your mind’s vision. You can still differentiate between illusions and dreams if you make up your mind.
This is what success means to you
When you reach a reasonable definition of success, you understand what success means to you without a doubt. Before starting a plan to pursue it, ask yourself these questions:
- What are my limits for being successful?
- The last time I hit a success, was I happy? And why?
- What are the most prominent successes in my life?
- What lessons have I learned from big achievements?
- What did I lose along the road so far?
- Can I continue from the last step or do I need a new pace?
Try to find sincere answers from your past experiences and present feelings about your life in general, and whatever answers you get, you have succeeded in phrasing your definition of success.
Definitions of success
Several definitions of success will give you the motivation to know what it means to be successful and help you define your success.
Success is bringing joy and happiness into your life with fewer regrets. It’s living each day while enjoying the small things.
Success is doing your best and expecting the best results in return. It’s working hard with strong beliefs, that when something goes wrong, you never back off.
Success is believing that the path of success is worthy despite any failure or disappointment along the road. When you start stepping up without seeing the whole staircase, you still believe you will reach the top.
Success is a journey of hard work, perseverance, strong will, sweat, and effort, leading all to a big dream. It’s going forward with a sword of steel removing all obstacles without giving up.
One definition of success is, to go forward anyway. Being scared is not a barrier because you have a target. It’s killing fear and anxiety and getting rid of every doubt about your abilities and capabilities. You grow formidable strength following each drop.
Success is learning that losing is a station you have to stop by to reach the next entrance. Accept loss and failure, learn from them, and prepare for the next battles.
Another definition of success is renovating your weak points to become your strong weapons. It’s embracing your disability and drawing out your extraordinary traits.
Finally, I believe that success is loving yourself, loving your life, loving your existence in other people’s lives, and most important getting so much love from people around you. This is how much important to make a firm definition of success and follow a plan for being a successful individual.

You make very good points. Success is personal and individual and everyone’s journey is different. It is a life changing moment when one defines their success on their own terms rather how others define it. When you are liberated in that way, then your path is clearer and wide open. Thanks for this post!
Yes, everyone’s journey is different. I agree with that. You are welcome! 🙂
Everything you’ve mentioned is part of success, but to me the pinnacle of success is to reach the end of my life and hear my Creator say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” <3
Yes, sure! Very good point, it’s the most satisfying answer to our life. Thanks for this comment!

Good point! I’ve always been on a different path than the norm. And it is easy to feel like if we haven’t reached our big goal that we haven’t succeeded. But then we’re forgetting that it is the journey along the way and how we lived that, that really matters. Great post!
Thanks for following my blog!
Yes, it’s how we live that matters, absolutely true! ???

Thanks for motivational quotes!
Thanks for the reality check. We need to stop our mad chasing after the world’s definition of “success” and … seek divine perspective. 😏
For me success will be getting to heaven having brought a whole lot of people with me. 😊
That’s impressive! It’s a great goal. I hope you get what you want. Thanks a lot for your comment 👍🏻 🙂
My mother is my inspiration and a true epitome of success. No matter how many hardships she has faced in her life, she has continued with her everyday duties and never lost faith in God. I don’t try to emulate her path because that is anyways too much for me to take on. But I admire and sometimes feel lovingly jealous of all the respect she has achieved – from dad, from neighbours, from her colleagues in office, and relatives. I wish to carve a path for myself in the art field and connect to as many artists as possible. This is a great post Chaymaa
I think she’s an amazing person. As much as you’re admiring her, I believe you can be a good and respectful person. All the best for you dear and thanks for your inspiring comment. 💐
Success for me is my ability to find the strength to get back up each time I fall and continue making steps towards my goal.
At the end, the feeling I get each time I accomplish a goal is indescribable 😊😊😊.
Great mindset! All the best for you! 👏🏻😊
This is a good read, thank you.
You’re welcome, have a great day!
Being who God called me to be. That’s the ultimate success story.
That’s great! Wishing you the best 🙌🏻😊
