What's your definition of success?

The meaning of success can be different for everybody.

I would consider myself successful when I have the following:

  1. Financial freedom
  2. Automated income
  3. Enough savings and investment
  4. Work from anywhere
  5. Healthy lifestyle
  6. Work-free weekends
  7. More family time
  8. More travel

If you give enough thought on these points, you would realize that the following two points can help in achieving the rest:

  1. Automated income
  2. Work from anywhere

I haven't achieved any of the above yet. Once I do, I shall consider myself successful.

So what's your definition of success?

Do you think you are already successful? Or do you think you are close enough/far-away?

According to me

  • Mental Peace
  • Money
  • Happiness
  • Enjoyment
  • Healthy Life
  • Family's Happiness

And the final

  • 💰
  • Donating a Lot
  • Religious Touch
  • Parents Could Call Out my Name anywhere they Go....

I can do what I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.
That's my definition of freedom.

Success means to me, I have done everything necessary to achieve my definition of freedom.

I'm pretty much there already.

well, your way of defining freedom means nobody can reach the point where they feel free.

Well, apparently I am nobody, because I pretty much achieved my definition of freedom :D

I will humour you.
How is my definition of freedom impacting you in any way?

  • Living with pride
  • Powerful to make change in other people / inspire others. Preferably, visible changes.
  • Be able to rest, when I want to -- some freedom.
