so wise.

We need to redefine successful, or at least define it for ourselves, not what "society" or "TV" deems success is. I have achieved success in many areas of my life. My success is 3 adult kids who are good citizens and just awesome good people, and people I truly like to spend time with. I have created things that will live on after me and give other people pleasure. I have helped people, both in my professional life and my private life. I do not earn a huge income, and I don't drive a fancy car. I am not model thin, and I don't live in a huge house. I don't consider myself pretty. But I'm real which I think is more important, and I'm kind, I'm smart, and I'm living my life on my terms. I consider my life a success. If anyone disagrees they can kiss my not so tiny hiney.

That sounds like quitter talk.

And stop comparing yourself to the Kardashians.

successful? what is this "successful"? and why is it important? lose the ego and many of the problems disappear.
