The word Success has many different meanings in life. At large people tag success with their materialistic growth in life, professional achievements, Fame and Honor, Society status that one achieves..... all of these speaks all about a person's success. And why not after all one has worked towards these gains so it is a success. But then Success does not get limited only to one's outer growth of life. Personally I believe that I cannot find my Success just in one thing in life. There are so many areas of my life that I am working on and all of them when I accomplish my goal is a success for me.
But there are somethings that are constant in life and if you can excel in that then that is one hell of a success I can say. For me that one very important thing is "Good Health" When I am in a state of Optimal Health I can very produly say that this is one of the biggest success of my life. I am now nearing 50 and with all the mindfulness that I follow towards my health, I am absolutely a very healthy person. In the times of Covid I have seen my close family members suffering and that is all because they have not been taking good care of their health. When I advice them, they would follow it for some time and then leave it. That's not how our body works.
It needs constant attention, care, nurturing, right diet, lifestyle. I will not say I am 100% on to it, but yes I am largely at it and that's what keeps me in good health all the time. I believe in more natural health then relying on medications. If ever I have some problem like a normal cold and cough I immediately get on to my natural therapies and that works best for me. And I believe that this is my biggest Success in Life.
Again as I said my success is just not limited to one thing, the way I started on the platform and have grown here from scratch and stabilized myself is another one success for me.
Since the last few days I was going through some emotional turmoil on this platform. I was getting downvoted on all my posts to practically 0, I was very disturbed for the first few days. And then I was reminded by some good souls here itself that I should not lose my sanity and maintain my balance, and be the person I have always been. For a couple of days I found it very difficult, I wanted to react, I wanted to fight back, but then somewhere deep within I had a voice telling me to Relax and let this pass. For a few days I cut off myself from writing, and I realized that I was so much at peace. I could get my power back. This was one big Success for me in the recent times. I was able to keep my balance and I was in a happy state. I did not fall, my strength and power all was there with me. I realized someone can only downvote me and disturb my peace if I am give them power by writing. If I do not write only then my peace of mind stays with me.
In the journey of life, what one may see as your failure may be the highest form of Success for you. I may lose out on some money by withdrawing, but by being calm I have been successful in gaining my peace of mind, which is much more valuable to me then money.
Life will keep us putting through these challenges. Our higherself will always guide us, and we need to listen to that voice and follow the guidance that we are receiving. If we learn to hear and follow that voice Success will always be ours. Whatever is our's will always come to us, then no matter what the source is.
My real Success in Life is being at Optimal Health Physically, Emotionally and Mentally. At this point of time I can say that I am completely harmonized with myself and feeling Successful in this journey of Life

This is a good read. Success is relative as you rightly said.
I also agree that health is the highest form of measuring success. Without a balanced healthy life, all other success is a mirage.
Yes, everything is fake when you are not healthy. Thank you
Yes I would say inner health, good friends, joy and humour are defo part of my wealth definition of success. Though money as well, enough to be able to share and suitain the people or causes you want.
Money will come in if the health is good, because then the physical body and mental body both will be in good shape to work and earn. We need more of positive energy to be in good shape and when all of it is there life will be beautiful and successful
#Bravo 👏
I love your compose.
Health is wealth
Thank you
If you don’t mind, could you please share /recommend your natural therapies for cough and cold?
Taking a Steem daily is the best way to avoid cold and cough. Having a herbal tea made with Ginger, mint, Cinnamon and cloves is also very helpful. Should also keep zinc supplements handy, if you feel any symptoms of cold and flu you should have it as prescribed for a day or two. It works best.
Thank you.
Wow! Wonderful write up
I’m happy you had very nice people to help out.. good to have you back 💪🏽
Thank you.
Yes good souls are there everywhere
There are lots of things that can mean success to different people but at this stage of my life, success to me would be being able to cater for my basic needs comfortably with enough change to go on.
True, the definition is different for people and also different for us at different stages of life. We need to prioritize and work on it. Thank you
Totally agree!
Great write up! In addition to your points, success is a state of rest! That is to say, you've archive your goals and dreams in what seems to be tough! Success is a state whereby the mind is at rest/peace.
Yes, you need to take a pause and celebrate your success, that is very important
A great read, success is arbitrary and however small the accomplishment, it should be valued and appreciated.
If one does not value their own success then it is like criticizing your own efforts.
True.
