What is success

WHAT IS SUCCESS
If you’re struggling to define what a successful life means, I have two pieces of good news for you:

1. 
   It’s never too late to start over.
   
2. 
   You get to write your own definition of success.
   

Many of us chase career titles, money, or social status — and yet we don’t feel successful when we get those things.
That’s because you can only measure success in your life when you define what drives your happiness and helps you find purpose. 
What is success to you?
Success is something that you have to define for yourself, and no one can do it for you. Success could mean a sense of giving back to the world and making a difference. It could mean a sense of accomplishment and career progression.
It could mean being able to do the things you love. It could mean being able to provide the best possible upbringing for your children.
It’s entirely up to you.
A one-size-fits-all approach is impossible. 
Let’s talk about the habits of successful people, and how successful people achieve great things by defining their own terms for success.
Many people think that they’re already too old to succeed.

• 
  At age 23, Oprah had just been fired from her first broadcasting job.
  
• 
  At age 30, Jonah Peretti was teaching middle schoolers before founding his billion-dollar media companies, Buzzfeed and The Huffington Post.
  
• 
  At age 40, Stan Lee finally achieved success with Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and X-Men comics.
  
• 
  At age 50, Julia Child wrote her first cookbook.
  
• 
  At age 62, Kernel Sanders’ fried chicken business KFC finally succeeded.
  
• 
  At age 77, Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s president after spending 27 years in jail.
  

If we can learn anything from these people who succeed later in life, it’s this:
