So...
what's your ° (degree) of success..
in what?
and
are you trying to improve?
or it's o.k?
It's interesting to see how people interpret this question. For me, my mind immediately went to my career. I achieved everything I could have hoped for, and more. I went in directions I could never have guessed existed for me. I traveled the world, I met some great and very talented people, and I was able to help others in their own career path.
In terms of overall life, well, that's not over. But outside of a career, I've been less successful. But I constantly try to improve, and to be more aware of things. I certainly try to be more present.

I try to never define, let alone quantify success or failure.
That way I cannot worry about the extent I win or lose.
Some folks think giving kids "participation" awards takes away their desire to exceed by beating competitors.
I think it shields them from eventual failure.

When l was around seven years old l had a friend of the same age that lived in an apartment next to mine. One day we were in her apartment and l saw some change on a side table and l took it. Then her mother came in and commented on the missing
money and accused her daughter of taking it. My friend never said it was me and l never admitted it. After 70 years l still think
about it and have never stopped regretting it. More than taking the money to this day l think about hurting my friend and
deciding to never do something like that ever again and the memory helped me being successful in holding on to that promise to myself.

For me it was about a half dozen hospitalizations in the past 18 months and the thousands of dollars they expect in return. Don't get me wrong. I am thankful to still be here but the question was about feeling successful.
Creativity has always been my thing and it has become elusive.

I feel very successful just because I’m still alive! I really never thought that I would live this long!

I always feel strong when I successfully deal with the normal little day to day challenges associated with remaining independent and autonomous.
My biggest challenge is improving/maintaining my weight and overall health.
