This is a question that can only be answered by your expectations. Some people are successful as soon as they get drafted. These people get drafted, get the big contract and they consider themselves successful. Others are successful, when they get the big check, rent out the VIP and throw the party. Then again some people are successful after a good year. You set goals, you reached all of them, now you made it. And yet others are successful when their career comes to an end, and they can look back at all the accomplishments they have, they measure their success in championships, money, and broken records.

All of this is personal to each of us, and some of us never even worry about success, we just keep doing what we have done, and let everything fall in place.

For me success lies in living each day to the fullest, and doing everything I can to give back each day I am on this earth. Everyday I do this I consider that day a success, I have no monetary measure of success. I do not care about giving the most, because I cannot compete with others who have more to give, and that isn’t what is about anyway. I simply want to make a difference while I am here. This is success to me, I never really measure it, and today is the first I have actually thought about this, but I am now asking you, what makes you successful.
