So how would you Describe Success?

I hear the word success bantered about from time to time and was thinking, success carries a different meaning for everyone.

As a real estate investor, I feel that I have reached some measure of success when my real estate investing can fully support me. Is that success?

I think almost everyone on this site has a different vision of what success means to them. I venture to guess that for some owning one single family rental gives them a feeling of success. Would I personally call this success no, but for that one individual that might be success.

My desire is that my real estate investments allow me the income to do pretty much what my wife and I want to do. Even if we all called that success it leaves a wide variation of results that could make that happen.

Any thoughts?
