At a certain time and age in our lives, the question of being successful repeatedly comes to us. And it can be very intimidating at this stage where it's easy to know what is happening to everyone through social media.
The good thing is that success is relative. We all have our own way to define success. Which is good. When we define success, we don't easily feel intimidated by the success of others.
Here are some tips to help you define your own success.
1. Ask yourself what makes you happy. Really happy.
2. Think of the Milestones you want to reach in your life.
Which milestones are important in your life? Is it getting a degree? Getting married? Getting a job? Making a million? Winning an award? Being a best seller? Finding happiness?
Whichever one is important to you, write them down.
3. Don't ever compare your definition of success with that of others.
Not everyone is happy with what they have achieved. Don't let the illusions people create on social media influence your definition of happiness. Your friends may look happy in all their graduation photos but they may not even like the course they studied. And that is not a success to them because that degree doesn't give them any satisfaction. So you definitely see it as a success but they don't (and won't tell you).

4. Put together Important Milestones and things that make you Happy to Define Your Own Success.
You know what makes you happy as well as what you want to achieve so use that to define your success. If your dream happy life is living in a big house with your family and your milestone is being a best seller author then these are what will make you feel successful. You can have many milestones and things that make you happy.
