and yours? were's your success? Its all relative...to some growing one seed in an entire life is a success, to others making trillions of dollars by scamming people is success, and to many others success is what they define themselves as life...success in living.

Hitler had a nice success...lots of dead Jews...

Uh!? What does success mean, then? Being annoying and having ridiculous beliefs?
Maybe them...

Success is about being pleasing to God and self-actualizing on every level: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, social etc... It's not about "awards, millions, or philantrophy" although many have that. I'm not telling you anything personal. You would just cr@p all over it anyway. :rolleyes:

The thread starter failed to define "success". Therefore, this thread is meaningless....

well...what he really is asking is, what is your success? What is it that we define as our success?

you seek truth, but when it finds you and it is more than you can take...what than? Do you still fill successfull?

That's YOUR version of success, but I do agree self-actualization is a good measure of success.

Having said that, how the hell do you consider those people you mentioned self-actualized!? :rolleyes:

Most people want those things. Take a look at celebrities. People think celebrities are successful. Celebrities have all of the above. Therefore, celebrities must be successful by the standards of the normal* population.

Of course, to assume that success is defined by what most people think is to commit a fallacy of population. Take for instance Britney Spears. She has awards and millions, but is she "successfull"!?!?

I'm not telling you anything personal. You would just cr@p all over it anyway.

I'm not the one who does that. I have yet to see you say something intelligent. Aside from the self-actualized part. Although I'm not even sure if you know what "self-actualized" means....

* "normal" in statistical terms

Now I feel like I'm being interviewed...... :D

When I find truth (or when truth finds me, the way you put it), I feel.... no, I don't feel successful. I feel kinda sad, actually, because it is the journey that I enjoy the most.... It's like going in a journey in a distant country. I miss home, while I'm travelling. But once I come back home, part of me feel sad that I'm not out there travelling anymore. You know what I mean?

Having said that, I've never found the truth and I don't expect to ever find it until maybe when I die and go to heaven.
