How do you rate success?

Often this past week I have thought about, "How does one succeed in life?". It has been a goal of mine to become healthier, slimmer and in better shape than I have been for the last couple of years. I have started eating alot heallthier than I was about three months ago. I have been eating more fruits, protien, vegetables and added XanGo to my diet. I feel better and have more energy however I have not lost any weight at all or even seemed to slim down yet. This is very frustrating to me.

I can also put this type of situation to many other aspects of life. There are times when I have studied my head off for exams and not gotten any further in my grade than previously, and I have felt distraught. Even after all the classes are completed and you have a degree, how successfull fo you really feel? There are many out there that have degrees and aren't successfull in a monetary way but are successfull in life. How do you prioritize your success? I feel I am successfull in motherhood, but yet I still feel like I have failed in my desire to be more fit. I am successfull in eating better and establishing a better diet than previously, but seem to lack the motivation to keep going...that cheesecake just looks way too good to pass up!

My husband seems to rate success on how his business is succeeding and how he treats his customers. Recieving positive feedback and a "Thank You" seems to be a very important part of how he measures his success. I think that there is definately more to it than that. Does succeeding in business make one happier than succeeding in life? Does succeedng in school set you up for success in life? Does success in life make you a better employee or business owner? There are too many answers and questions to ask....ask yourself "how you measure success" and prioritize what is more important to you. "Where do you succeed?

Just a saying that I came across that I really felt appreciative of today....
