What is success? How do you define it? What does success mean to you?

Success can’t be defined simply for most people because it’s usually comprised of many things such as wealth, happiness, and fame.

The Oxford dictionary defines success as: “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.”

The definition of success varies from person to person. Success is a personal thing. What drives one person is different from what drives another person.

When you understand how others look at success, you can develop your own definition.

Let’s dive into some different definitions of success, so you can find inspiration to create your own definition of success.

1. Success is about social status

To some, the definition of success means achieving their goals, so they reach a certain social status that comes with attaining wealth, prosperity, and fame. Success is about being prosperous and gaining a favorable outcome.

2. Success is about controlling your destiny
