Analyzing Success And Failure

You feel positive and joyful when you realize that you are successful.
However, when failure comes to you, you feel defeated. The definition of
success and failure varies from one person to another and according to the
stage of life that you are in. *It is important to have success and failure
well defined for yourself, because, based on your definition, you feel
greater or lesser inner wellbeing, happiness and wholeness.* There are also
different levels of success and of failure. For example, for some the
greatest success is to be happy and radiant, whatever happens inside or
outside. If one manages to keep happy in the face of failure, for them it
is a success. Because to be happy means that I am connected with my
essential worth or inner self, my being is awake and alive. Failure does
not reduce my vitality, my contentment levels. The greater or fewer
external achievements do not reduce the quality of the inner being or of
being happy. *The important thing is that you believe your own definition
of success and failure.* Some ideas can be shared that can act as
guidelines, but, in the end, each person has to create their own
guidelines, definitions and factors leading to success and failure. Basing
ourselves on these guidelines and beliefs, we evaluate our successes and
failures.  *You can reflect on what true success and failure mean for you
and, according to those meanings, centre your attention on the values and
efforts that lead you to achieve your objectives.
