Success in life is in being a good father, husband, and person. It's in those moments that carry such special, timeless meaning, the ones that bring such peace and contentment that it makes you wonder why you're so blessed, why God picked you... jpg.

OK, touchy-feely is fine. I agree wholeheartedly. I would not trade my experience raising my kids for all the wealth and power in the world.

I do not appreciate you changing my category. I cannot change it back now that you've answered. I will now have to re-ask it.

Yes. I should reword it. I did explain myself in details, but I think you were too quick for me.

Speaking solely for myself, I believe happiness is the most important factor in life. Being healthy really boils down to a roll of the dice and beating the odds stacked against one. Net worth?

I suppose that depends entirely on one's luck when choosing the right career. Some are good and succeed by excelling at what they do, while others do not and fail miserably. As for creative accomplishments, I think being a good parent, and by doing so, leaving behind a legacy that will be cherished and fondly remembered by one's children as they sit and talk around a kitchen table, long after your gone, is the best epilogue a person can leave behind.

I would guess being able to pay my bills with some left over to have fun with. Having the people I love, love me back. Everything else is just the icing on the cake.

Just had another thought. Sucess would also mean helping your grown children financially when they need help. This saves you nice tax paying askvillers from picking up the tab for my kid's problems.

To me success in life means having basic needs met sufficiently that I can start giving back.

As we become less affected by human greed and selfishness the 'Inner Success' is made possible and the outer illusions fade away. We have to travel the Path before we can know it. Blessings .

Help make world a better place, peace, love, forgiveness...harmony....connected with God.

Reaching a point where theres nothing else to lose and you realize for once you don't care, youre free.

What I mean is this material belongings don't bring happiness but beyond that when you can give to someone something that they don't have and truly do it to make them happy just out of the blue to just blow someones mind with kindness in the true spirit of giving. That is what gives me the most feeling of happiness. Knowing I did something they surely didn't expect and knowing they won't forget it.

That person is out there thinking good thoughts about me. That is good kahrma energy directed towards me. The more one gives, the more the good will being thought of me.

When you can truly stop caring about buying and owning you can start finding what is real and what really matters and it cant be bought or sold. It comes from doing something out of the goodness of your heart. Not for any other reason than to make someone else happy.

People never forget a true act of kindness. They may forget what it was you gave but not that you give.

Name one accomplishment in your life that has brought you happiness.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
