Success - how do you define it?

When people speak of the concept of "Success", how do you define it? What would be a 'success' for you? If one listened to the voice of the world we would hear things like:

...success is having a good job, career.
...success is having a sizeable bank balance.
...success is having thousands of Facebook friends.
...success is having a nice home, car, bike.
...success is having the latest gadget.
...success is being promoted to the top of your company.

But, is this really success?
We know in our heart of hearts that none of these things really count in the end.
What good is a fancy house or car, when you have no genuine friends?
How does all the money in the world buy you the love and affection of a family?
How does the latest gadget help you communicate with those who matter?

So, please tell me how you define success. If you have time please REPLY to this post with ONE word. Tell me what you think about when you hear the word success.

Joshua 1:7 - "Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do."


"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." -Albert Schweitzer
