People talk a lot about success, but what exactly does success mean? Even dictionary definitions are elusive, saying things like, “A degree or measure of succeeding!”
But, you know, by any definition, in the grand scheme of things, not very many people are truly successful. It would seem, that people could claim success if, say, by retirement age they could look back on their lives and sincerely have no serious regrets. And it makes sense that more people could honestly enjoy success if they had made choices throughout their lives based on end result projections, instead of on what felt good at the time.
It’s been said that a good way to live a successful life is to write an epitaph the way you would want yours to read, and then work backwards from there.
It’s something to think about!
