One of my friends w/ a disability said the following, and I just had to share with everyone.

"Success...my definition of it changes daily. Sometimes it's as simple as sitting up in
bed, struggling to get t-shirt over head, showering and exiting without
slipping...scratch that, many days. Smaller increments help mold my gratitude for
being and hold in higher esteem this form I've shown up in."

She's an amazing person.

What does success mean to you?

even if you fail, you succeeded in life. you just didn't succeed at that particular thing.

but hella people die without ever going for what they truly love to do

Music is almost everything.

... but I generally equate personal success with contentment.
When I look back over periods where I consider myself
(or was considered by my peers and family) as successful,
three things seem to be consistent:

1.) Independence
2.) Routine/structure
3.) Accountability

When I'm able to maintain those three conditions, contentment
is not hard to come by and small successes tend to follow.

setting out to do something, and doing it

I just want freedom to do what I want when I want, with my bills paid and good food to eat, I want my fam and friends to know I love them

Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours.

*Jews you*

"this is okp tho, reading is completely optional" (c) desus

Proceed with caution. I am overtly racist.

<-- In Pigpen we trust

Artist that sells 100 EPs a week for 10 years is successful in music terms because he/she has a dedicated fanbase that supports their music.

Individual working a 9-5 or doing the overnight grind is successful because they are saving up to move somewhere or buy something that enables them to better themselves.

As long as you're taking steps to improve in something somehow despite the odds then you are a success. Don't let anybody tell you different.

I'm not gonna lie and say it doesn't include material things like a nice, comfortable home, travel and the ability to have my simple splurges. However, the older I get, the more emphasis I'm starting to place on actually having time to enjoy life. So, it's kind of split between achieving my goals and having the time to enjoy my achievements. I guess success is all about finding the right balance in life for me.
