My long answer is summed up in a blog post I wrote on this same subject: http://su.pr/1GnVyM.
However, the deepest cry of my heart is that I may be able to hear these words from my Creator when I stand before him at the end of time: Matthew 25:21 (New International Version) 21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

Just as you were pointing out, as we live up to our full potential as human beings, faithfully and courageously living out big dreams to serve and impact others, if we have done that while living within the guidelines of Scripture, I don't believe we can ask for any greater success.

Thanks for the compliment man. Glad you liked the article. I love how your definition of success is not only helping people, but it's to save lives through fitness. Excellent perspective. I know you'll do well and achieve more than you can ask or think!

Hey Rod, Awesome post from back in the day! I really can relate and look forward to every new day to help someone. Be it, holding the door open or help carry a baby stroller down the steps to the subway! Small examples but I'm sure you get the picture. I have started a personal training fitness company (lefthookfitness.com) and I want to promote well being through exercise! Of course I want to make money and be able to provide the better things in life for myself and family. However my focus has been to provide a service that will alter lives. In some cases save lives. When this is accomplished then I have succeeded, in-turn the compensation is ten fold through referrals and testimonials.

Hey, Fazreen, thanks for stopping by. I think your definition of success is probably one of the most important. If we're not happy with our success then what have we achieved? Thanks for commenting, looking forward to hearing your points of view on other posts as well.

Hi Rod,
This is my first time here. I glad because I enable to read your first post. What a coincidence. For me, success is define when I manage to make myself happy.

Cheerz,
Fazreen

Rod,

I've always like to think of success as the journey and not a destination. As Christians, we are already joint heirs with Christ. Talk about success! It is now the journey we must take to become what we already are. Each individual step towards that is a success, but so is the journey itself.
