From childhood people start hearing - 'Someone is successful.... You have to be successful'. The mind perceives that success means name, fame and wealth. And the race of life starts - be successful.

What is a success for a small child who just knows how to crawl? The 1st time the child stood on his/her feet is a success for that little one. What is success for a student? To get get good marks and to get appreciating words from the teacher.

At different phase of life meaning of success differs. With little observation you can find that most of the time this success is a relative comparison. Try to see what a success means to you in absolute terms. Because it is your success. Your success has nothing to do with anyone else in this world.

When success is absolute and it is measured what you are capable of and what you strive for, it gets its real meaning. If you try to achieve something and you get it- it is a success for you. What you try to achieve can be small or big. But achieving it is your success.

Whatever you do in your daily life, there are many things for which you put your heart and soul or you bear some pain. If you achieve what you wanted, it is a success.

You achieve many small small successes daily. Acknowledge them and appreciate yourself for those. Give a pat on your back and smile!

Cheers,
