Wrong question.

Our Western cililization thinking tends to define our lives in "success", usually looking at the bottom number on the bank statement.

I think the right question is "Am I significant?"

Does life have meaning?
Will there be a lasting impact after I'm gone?
How will I be remebered?
Will I be remembered at all?
Is my impact on other's lives always positive?

Having a positive impact on others is more important than a big checkbook. Of course, sharing that big checkbook is one tangible way of making a positive impact. Are my children well-prepared to face the path in front of them?
Do people feel better after coming to me for advice?
Are people glad to see me when I enter the room?
Does my spouse feel secure?

Back to defining success- How about "Living without stress". Good relationships, no worries, or minimal worries, about money....

Wow. Too much to think about on a Monday morning.
