Defintion of Success (in my words)

“Success cannot be measured, it can be felt. Goals can be set, measured and accomplished but success in life can only be attained if you have done the following:

1. Followed your Karma: Karma is the concept of "action" or "deed" in Indian religions understood as denoting the entire cycle of cause and effect. Whatever profession you are in did you do you best. Again the measure is not how you pare with others or what rating you achieved in you annual appraisals but is measured by the fact that given an opportunity what did you do with it ? Did you give it your best? Karma also includes responsibilities as a brother, husband, friend. Did you fulfill your responsibilities. Will these relations blink when answering what they think of you ?
   
2. Dharma: Dharma signifies the underlying order in nature and life (human or other) considered to be in accord with that order. The word Dharma literally means 'that which upholds or supports' (from the root 'Dhr' - to hold), here referring to the order which makes the cosmos and the harmonious complexity of the natural world possible. It's upto an individual to follow his dharma. Whichever religion one belongs to did he follow what his Dharma says. Working for non-profit and volunteer organization and helping others can be one's dharma. Its your choice if you include it as your dharma and follow it.
   
3. Fullfilment: There is no harm in asking for more :) The critial question is how much more. If you are taking good care of your family, if you are fulfilling your needs, if you are making enough to enjoy life (what ever interests you have)...then you are enjoying your life as it should be. This sense of fulfillment will last only for a phase, since life moves on, new needs will come up, new goals need to be set and hence new effort to keep the fulfillment stage on in your life. Of course there is much more and its a personal opinion.!!!””
