Some people measure it by how much money they make (or will make), other people measure it by a position in a company. Maybe it's because you overcame growing up in poverty by now being able to support your family.
To me, being successful has little to do with money, or position, or overcoming hurdles. Don't get me wrong, all of these CONTRIBUTE to success in life, but are not the deciding factor.
To me, being successful means having a family and raising my children well. Of course, children are a ways off, even getting married is a few years away. But I feel that my success will come when I look back at my life, when I am old and grey, and see how my children turned out. If they are well-taken care of, intelligent, responsible, and accountable then I will be happy. I will know that I did an awesome job of raising my children, and helping them prepare for their lives. They will have the means to go to college and get an education. They will be able to do whatever they want, and I will be there to support them in their decisions.
Now, I'm not going to slack and not try to become successful in my career, and in other aspects of my life. Once I figure out what my career is going to be, I will face it head-on. My first priority will be my family. Because money doesn't last, and happiness within memories can never be replaced.
My future is looking bright. I am going to live my life knowing that things are going to remain as long as I don't give up.
