What do you have to do to be successful? Oftentimes, people would consider success to be making enough money to support yourself, or having everything you want out of life. But even if you have everything you want, does that necessarily mean that people would consider you successful in every way? I mean...there's many different types of things you can be successful in. There's business success, personal success, financial success, family success, education success...etc etc etc. But is there such a thing as life success? Is there a basic formula that says whether or not we can say we had a "successful life?"
I always thought that success would mean having all your dreams come true...
If I'm going off that assumption then what the hell am I doing? Has this always been my dream? Or is this ridiculous existence acceptable because I am "working towards my dreams"...but am I really? Let's examine my dreams:
1) Travel the world
2) Own my own inn
3) Meet a man that will love me for who I am
4) Start a family
5) Have children and raise them with cultural awareness
6) Experience all that I can
7) Make enough money to take care of my parents some day
Now that I'm out of college...I just feel like if I'm not working towards these things it must be a waste of time...I mean, what have I really done in the last three months?
1) Worked my ass of at a job
2) Started smoking weed again
3) Made some new friends that I'm not sure actually like me
4) Started a fuck buddy relationship
5) Ended a fuck buddy relationship
6) Actually had some pretty great sex (not that that really matters because I've come to realize that even if the sex was great if the ending sucked you never appreciate it in the end)
7) Missed my family like crazy
8) Felt very alone...
And then there's the constant feeling that I'm wasting time on my dreams...but then is three months really a waste of time? I mean I'm very young...but at the same time I traveled Europe in three months...so much can happen in three months!!
Am I really successful if I'm not happy?
