How do you measure success?

In order to talk about success first I should know what is success, however I think that there are different meanings depending on the desire area, you can have success on sports, money, work, studies, relationships, family and others that I could spend the complete day just doing the list. At least for me the most important areas are health, family, study, work and of course money because money moves the world however is not the most important in my life, I’m not going to be happy because I am rich, I’m going to be happy when I could balance my life. I am going to talk about each important area for me.

I would like to start talking about how I measure my success on health, at least in my case when I was younger I used to get sick every month, it was horrible, so I decided to change my lifestyle and decided to start eating as good as I can, however since there are so many vegetables that I don’t eat I started to take vitamins. Also I decided to left my sedentary life behind and started to do exercises and now I get sick like every 4 to 6 months per year, for me that is a very big success because I can enjoy more my life than before.

Regarding family, well is hard to say that I am success, because it is something that I don’t have the control, now that I am married I have tried to be a good wife and have better habits than I used to have with my parents; it is hard because I lived with them for about 30 years, but I try to do my best, so far I think I am on a good way to success but I am just starting.

I think that I have failed with study success because I didn't take advantage of the lack of responsibilities that I used to have and the time, now I feel that I am tired of study and I have so much other things to think about. Nevertheless I am continuing studying and hope I can finish and be successful on my major and future career; on the other hand when I finish I would like to continue studying, could be another language or could be specialize myself in something related to my current studies.

About work and money I think that most of the time both are together and at this moment I think I am successful, I am not rich and I am not working in NASA but I am happy with my job and my salary, I know that I could earn more and I could have a challenger work but by the time I am studying it is perfect to me. I already have my own house and I can pay the loan and pay my studies so I think that I am successful on those areas.

Everyone have different ways to see success, my success could mean nothing to others and vice versa, but if we all were the same it would be boring and could dangerous or a paradise when will never know.
