Will you be successful? (Reflections)

Sometimes I feel that maybe "successful" could be the ability to have a relaxed mind at all the defining moments, being able to choose the right things and make good decisions, being there for your friends and family. Success could be being nice and caring enough to be able to make the important persons in your life feel important. It could be the abundance of laughter and togetherness of the person you value, to be able to smile and laugh when you want to do so. To be the reason behind your parent's happiness. Guess I took a long-winding of words rather than just arriving at the point that: Success to me is love, happiness and security. And now if I have to answer the question..... I never know but I will strive for it as long as I live.

Will You Be Successful?

Lately in a conversation with a close friend we suddenly ran into futuristic talks and he asked me a question which caught me completely off-guard! He asked me: Will you be successful? I couldn't gather any instant answer because I was clueless beneath. Though the conversation carried onto other things, I was still seeking answer to that question at the back of my mind. Will I be successful? OK how I define success in my heart? When I was a kid success was having the best Barbie toys to play and show my friends. When I was in high school, success for me was securing the highest marks in the whole class. When I joined college, success was to top the class. I thought winning competitions would relax my restless and wandering heart, but know I am wrong. Having done and achieved what I perceived to be success, I have no clue what "successful" is? Is it making money? Being famous? Being responsible and sought after? Being in the position to give? Being the key person?
