It's totally okay if you are not successful by others' standards.
We do not share similar goals. So there's no reason that our definition of success will also the same. Other's achievements may seem nothing to you. So take it easy, if anyone gives you no credit for what you have achieved so far.
Understanding this is very necessary.
Why?
This understanding will save you from any toxic comparison, from unnecessary social embracement. But most importantly your self-esteem will be safe.
This is why building your own definition of success is vital. But most of us live unsure about it.
I wouldn't say, I was very sure during my early ages. But the more I'm getting matured, the more I'm building my idea of success in a concrete way. That's why I can say, you can do it at a very early age and you should actually.
How?
Be clear about what you are looking for in life, from life/yourself.
Be sure what matters most, what makes you happy.
If you focus on these two thing, every other thing will become clear to you. And you will have a better vision of your own success.
It will not matter to you anymore, what others say, how others define you, say successful or not.
Try doing it, you will wonder seeing the effect...

Success is something that you have to define for yourself, and no one can do it for you. As for me I will say Success could mean a sense of giving back to the world and making a difference. It could mean a sense of accomplishment and career progression. It could mean being able to do the things you love
I am happy that you got my point clearly,thanks for the contribution @abbey877
Success is indeed what we want it to be and measuring our success based on the standards of others is just so toxic. What will make me happy and fulfilled may not work for you and that's okay, each person with what works for them.
Great read and so very true. I spent a lot of years trying to be "successful" to what society/some one else deemed success should look like. It was a fools folly and brought about a lot of unhappiness. Thankfully I was able to make changes and happiness seems to be a more constant visitor. :)
This is an interesting writeup,many of us tend to define success according to what the soceity defines it has
We should define success in our own way..@ifecryptos
Yes i totally agree with you @bitukoyo
Alright good to know we are on the same page @ifecryptos
Very good definition. Understanding and defining success in one's way is the best way to give success meaning.
