On Success: What does it mean to have a successful life? A successful life is where you become happy with your current situation and are proud of the decisions that got you there. If a certain aspect of your life is exactly where you want it to be, then you have succeeded. Everyone has an image, or a set of standards, in their mind on how their lives should be. In other words, you have an image on how your body should look or how your career should look. When you don’t meet that standard, you’re not happy and you don’t see yourself as successful. When you’re unhappy with your weight, it’s because your weight doesn’t match how you think your weight should be. When you’re unhappy with your income, it’s because you’re not making as much as you feel you should be making.
