This could be a pretty loaded question. Everyone seems to have different definitions of success and some people feel successful while others look at them and think they aren’t the least bit successful. Then you have the people who feel like a failure, when someone might look at them and think they are successful.
The dictionary defines success as: the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
Why do some people appear more successful than others? It totally depends on what type of ‘glasses’ you are looking through.
If you value money and you see someone with a lot of money, you will automatically label them as ‘successful’. Even if the rest of their life is falling apart.
If you value relationships and are not in a relationship you may see yourself as ‘unsuccessful’, even if you are financially ‘rich’.
If you think the only people that are successful are ones that have careers that were bought and paid for with years of University training, then anything less than a PHD will scream ‘unsuccessful’ at you.
Every single one of you that is reading this is successful at something. But that begs the question…
How do you become MORE successful in your life?
1. You need to define what is really important to you in your life.
2. You need to do something every single day that takes you in the direction of what you deem to be success.
3. You need to make some rules that you set up so that you are consistently winning ~ you win at something every day.
4. You need to build on previous successes (if you do step #3, this will be easier).
5. You will need to come to the realization that no matter how ‘successful’ you get, you will ALWAYS want something more, and this is okay.
Celebrate your success every day!
Even if you are not feeling particularly successful today, find something that you did well. Are you a good parent? Did you hug your dog? Did you listen to a friend and help them feel better? If you are unemployed and want a job, did you look for work? If you want to be healthier, did you go for a little walk, or eat healthy? If its a relationship you are after, did you do something to help you feel better about YOU?
No matter what your day looks like, there will be at least one thing you did that you could call a ‘success’. You may have to look for it, but its there. The more you think about it the more likely you are to do something you can call ‘successful’.
Law of Attraction works. The more successes you can count in your day the more you will do to bring more success. If you are constantly telling yourself you are a failure, you will continually be doing things that re-affirm that for you. If you set it up so you are a success in something every day, you will feel and be successful.

Tamara, great blog. I love this: Celebrate your success every day! Sometimes I would look over my day to see if I was productive, which was way to judgmental! From now on …. I celebrate!
Great outlook on success, I really like the breakdown 1 through 5, especially #2….build everyday
This post touched my heart, I have been so hard on myself lately but really there are successes all over the place for me lately.
It’s when you stop and think that’s when you realize your accomplishments.
Thanks Tam that opened my eyes.
