The surest way to know whether or not your life is going down a worthy path is to gauge the amount of feedback you get, especially the criticism. Successful people are without a doubt the most criticized people on earth and that’s because, for everything they’ve ever attempted, they were capable of handling the criticism they received, whether it was constructive or not. This resulted in their continued success which meant even bigger projects with even more critics.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Success is a term that is so vague it’s useless. As such, it depends entirely on you to figure out what it means because, as the owner of your life, you are the only one who can decide when you have or when you haven’t been successful.
