Success. It comes in little battles, from getting the lid off of the pickle jar to meeting a deadline with time to spare. Everyone measures it in different increments and different ways.

The common idea of success is fame, money, having your hearts desire. I'd have to say that with the rash of celebrity fall outs lately that make the news, that is a poor marker. There are many who are "successful" who lay low and enjoy what life gives them, ever grateful for the little things. These are the poeple who also give back.

I guess, success to me is being in a position where you are blessed enough to have friends, and to be able to do things for them, no matter how small. To make the world a better place, even if it is in your own corner of it. To be liked and well thought of by your family, friends, and peers.

Success to me is the smile on the faces of those I know and love, and knowing I was able to put it there.
