No one is successful or are they?

                         The idea of success has always been misconstrued and misinterpreted. There are two dimensions in the concept of success.
                         On the one hand, there is the type of success considered by the society. This type is mostly attributed  to fame and wealth, therefore, is considered successful anyone who achieves certain popularity, namely the sport and movie celebrities, the politicians and others, also anyone who possesses certain wealth. To make a point, i conducted a survey among friends and family members as to name one or two successful individuals that come quickly in mind. The result was spot on, almost all mentioned the president( of the United States) and or a celebrity name. This definition of success by the society is not new in modern time, but has tremendously evolved in adaptation to the advancement of technology and the means of communication. In primitive age and in some traditional societies, successful person was the chief of tribe and the sage namely the elderly because they possessed wisdom and they were well respected.
This type of success, unfornatunate doesn't always guarantee the attainment of life fulfillment
                         On the other hand, there is the type of success that is personal . This is a type that you and i attain when we achieve a specific goal, when we reach a treshold of a milestone longing. This could be a well functoning relationship with spouse,  family, with friends, it maybe the restoration of one's health after a tough and long battle against a grave disease, it could also imply obtaining a good job or being rich, i might also add the fact to impact many people's lives. The idea is, at some point in their life, everyone experiences success, they can attribute any definition of success at whatever situation is applicable to themselves. The dictionary defines success as a favorable or prosperous outcome of an attempt or endeavor. In the light of this definition we should consider ourselves successful in one way or another, but we savour any favorable endeavor only temporarilly and after that we completely forget  that something of significance even happened to us.
                        Why are we so entangled with the idea of looking for success in wealth and fame? it turns out that it is not completely of our doing, we live in the society where individual character and sentiments are deeply buried under the dictatorship of the great leviathan.
                          In order to stay grounded and live a very fulfilling live, we must begin where we are, by considering every simple but significant thing we accomplish in life, recongnizing its value and place of importance in our life and savour them as long as we can. To do this is quite simple; let's be aware and alert, and also consciencious of every journey we embark, of every fight we engage, of every rubicon we reach. let's value the simple thing that otherwise would have no value.
Let's enjoy the moment.
