What is True Success?

Weekly Topic: What “success” means to me

Marianne

Oct 16, 2026

There are so many definitions of success. However, I would also like to share my own perspective about this topic.

Success to me is never about money nor fame but experiences that carry a lot of value and depth. It is about cherishing the little things and the people I care so dearly. As a teacher, helping my students grow by sharing my knowledge is a great achievement. In the same way, seeing my family and friends genuinely happy brings me fulfillment in return.

Success is not a destination, it's a feeling. If I am able to enjoy life with what I have now, leave a positive impact in the world, show gratitude for God's blessings, and appreciate the present moment without worrying about the future, that is true success to me. 

What does success mean to you? You're welcome to leave your thoughts in the comments!
