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 completely caught me  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 some other mundane things, I was still seeking answer to that question at the back of my mind.
"Will I be successful?"
At the first place, I wondered how I define success in my heart?
When I was a kid success was having the best Barbie dolls with the best dresses to adorn 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 meant for me to top the class. And I achieved all of them to put my heart into peace and satisfaction. I thought winning competitions would relax my restless and wandering heart, but know I am wrong, I am still not at peace yet, I still want more. Having done and achieved what I perceived was success, I have no clue what "success" is?  Is it making money? Being famous? Being responsible and sought after? Being in the position to give? Being the key person?

Sometimes I feel that maybe "success" is 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. Being nice and caring enough to make the important people in your life feel important. 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.

Well I guess success is relative. Each person will have their own set of goals or ideas which they bunch into success.
And I have seen that through the years my priorities in life changed according to the situations I am in.

Guess I took a long-winding battle of words rather than just arriving at the point that: Success to me and I guess for many would be having love, happiness and security in life. 

And I guess it's hard for me to answer whether I will be successful or not! I guess some questions should be just let unanswered for life to decide and debate on it.

These are some random thoughts that ran through my head as an after effects of a usual tea and biscuit conversation.

And I want to pass this question to other person out there, will you be successful? :-)
