- What means success to you? This is an interesting way of asking the question. Success means the opposite of failure, I suppose: accomplishing the task you set out to do or reaching a goal.
- When did you feel most successful in your life thus far? I have done many things that made me feel successful, I raised 3 boys to be productive members of society, they are excellent fathers and husbands and sons. They, of course, would be my greatest success. I have also successfully run my own business for over 20 years.
- What was your biggest success others helped you to achieve? I think it is my feeling of peace. It came from within and from the support of family and friends.
- What was your biggest self-made success? I live in a big old house all by myself. I’m not able to do a whole lot. With all my health problems living alone is epic for me.
- What can you learn about success from failing? You don’t necessarily know how to do it, but you certainly know how not to. I also learned I like success much more than failure.

Five on Friday - best way to beat the heat THIS side of the Mississippi!
1) I think you measure success NOT by all you HAVE, but ALL YOU BECOME.
In the short term, accomplishing a specific feat, goal, or task DOES mean that you have NOT failed. I do agree with you there.
2) WOw...that's a hard one.
Several times, however fleeting it was back then...these days, each success is measured by whether I can see the sun come up...small victories DO add up...LOL.
3) I think it's the person I have become...parents. teachers, mentors, bosses...they ALL helped a lot...more than they probably knew.
4) It shouldn't all be about "stuff", but the ability to purchase a new car 29 years ago (that I still own)..and pay it off without going into hock out the butt...those were the REAGAN years, too...who knew?
5) That there is ALWAYS a tomorrow...a kind word, a helping hand...and a living God.
Without those, it's hard to succeed...at anything.
Excellent list today.
Hope your weekend is great.
Do take care and stay safe down there.
(keep cool)
