What is success and what does it look like? People through the ages have pondered these questions wondering why we are here. What are we supposed to do with our lives? What is the best way to live a fulfilling life and help our fellow human beings? Is the life of a priest more meaningful than a millionaire who uses his money to educate children? Is being a nun more successful than being the head of Amnesty International? Is being a corporate superstar more important than raising happy children? What defines success? There are many conclusions to the above questions and some work very hard trying to live a life that matches up to these so called ideals. But are they happy? Are they really successful? There are many principles and laws written on life and those that have tried to obey them but did it get them anywhere in the end? Philosophy is the study of the theories of life. Many people who study philosophy often end up with more questions than they started with. For some this study is a complete waste of time and for others it has given their lives more meaning. Our personal life results show us whether we are achieving anything. Are we happy? Do we have plenty of friends and family around us? Are we healthy? Free of money problems? Unless you are happy, healthy, and creative and surrounded by people you love who love you back, you cannot be living a successful life. You may be obeying all the rules of a philosophical life but the reality is proving different. You need to stop following rules dictated by other people and decide what you personally want out of your life. You only get one chance to live life and you might as well choose it to be a happy and healthy one. So make a decision today to stop what you are doing, get out of the rat race for a couple of hours and decide what it is you want to achieve from your life. Next you need to evaluate your current actions. If you continue living the way you are, will you achieve your dream lifestyle? If yes; then great. But I suspect this exercise will probably highlight a number of things you should be doing differently. You should be eating more healthy foods, nourishing your body and your mind and taking more exercise. You need to clear up any confusion you have about what success means to you. Stop worrying about what philosophers say is the route to happiness and instead; concentrate on achieving your version of a successful happy life.
