Questioning Success.

I’m sure that lots of people must ask themselves whether they’ve had a successful life. Well, it seems to me that the definition of success must be about achieving a goal.

I wanted that job and I got it, therefore I have been successful.

I bought a lottery ticket this week in the hope of winning some money, and I did win so I have been successful.

It’s easy enough to judge success in the short term, but life? How can we know whether we’ve had a successful life unless we know what we came here to achieve? And how many of us know that?
