How do I define Success?


Merriam Webster defines it as “a favorable or desired outcome”, such as wealth, favor, eminence. I thought about success, and ways that I potentially defined it. I suppose as of now I consider it being able to contribute at my workplace. But isn’t there so many more ways to be a success aside from work? I don’t want my success to be limited to just work. I want my desire to succeed to apply to my entire life.
To succeed is to accomplish something you set out to do. Before I can define success, I need to define my goal. I can’t succeed unless I know where my goal ends. In that case, what is the goal of my life? What footprint do I want to leave in this world? If I start from there, I’ll have a better answer of what I want to do and what success is for me. I want to live a purposeful life, not void of direction.
