If you had asked me this personally 23 years ago, when I was homeless and pregnant in a large city til November in Michigan, I would have thought success was finding enough change on the ground to buy a small order of fries at McDonalds or not being questioned by the police when finding a place to sleep for the night.
If you had asked me 15 years ago...success would have have been escaping an abusive ex with my children (and me) unscathed.
If you had asked me 10 years ago, success would have been defined as getting through financially without having to file bankruptcy or have my home foreclosed on.
If you had asked me about success 6 years ago, I would have felt successful if I could copy/paste things in online chat or figure out how to navigate a message board.
If you ask me today, success is a daily realization. After learning a little here and there, I have a few websites, have learned a little about making graphics, do a little freelance writing, and earn some money from home doing all these things.
I guess I've known an awful LOT of success in my life and I'm grateful for every bit of it! Without ever having hardships, or having to work hard to reach goals I set for myself, I might not have appreciated "success" when I found it - or will find more of it
