Contrary to popular notion, success is not just about being well known and spoken of, and certainly not about producing profits or riches that will take control of you and your mind. It's not about your habitual acquaintance with society's set of formal rules, or that strip of red carpet that is laid for you to walk on. It's not about burning bridges or erecting thicket barriers around you.
Success is about wanting to succeed but not afraid of failing, for failure they say is the mother of success. It's about loving what you do, and no matter how little it puts on the table. It's about believing in yourself, knowing that you're everything you need to succeed, and letting those around you remodel their expectations to that. It's about changing things for the better, but also accepting fate and speedily recovering from adversities without lasting damage.
Success is about acting less seriously sometimes; like doing the opposite of boring, like being around friends and having your presence felt in a good way, like taking chances for love, like forgiving when you're wronged, and making amends when you're wrong. Success is about being principled but not petty, and about wishing for others what you wish or have for yourself.
If you ask me, every relatively rare accomplishment is success. It's about looking at your detractors in the face and say: "I made it. What you gon say now?" But that's just a personal definition perhaps. Have a successful Sunday
