I base success on learning from accomplishing things, daily. I will look to the steps I take moment by moment for daily living to act on using my own morals, values, and choices to make up my life and not trying to evaluate life as a whole to determine this. What matters is now, each moment. If I learn from something, even if it was something that could be considered a failure, then it was success and just another AFGRO (another friggin growth opportunity). If I fail to learn and especially repeat it, this is truly failure and success is not to be had. I can no longer think in terms of where my life should be or isn't, but only in how I want to live each day to judge my success.
