Hmmmmm... tough question there oh spokesmen sirs. Hmmmmmm... a successful life. Well, I mostly agree with Sazerac tho not entirely. Maybe I'll put it in my own words...
A successful life means, to me, that:
* You can forgive yourself for your mistakes, and for not being perfect
* You work to the best of your abilities at the time to accomplish as much of what needs doing as you can.
(there are times when the best we can accomplish is breathing... but that is success for that time!)
* You do as much as you can to make the lives of others better
* You try to not be judgemental, or unkind, yet honest & honorable in your dealings with others
* You are friendly and kind with most people.
* You accept help and encouragement when you need it. And of course, give it when it's needed.
* Self-love,
self-TRUST are essential, in my opinion. Only with those elements will self-confidence arise from each learning experience throughout your life.
Well, I'm tired, so this is the best I can come up with today. Good luck in your quest Ramon!
