Dressed for success?

Sometimes I wonder what can be considered a success and what is simply one's duty.

Is being happy/positive/productive a success or just everyone's duty?

Is finishing your dissertation a success?

What is success really?

Sometimes I think the biggest success is getting to the end of a Monday and feeling that you have done something useful for your body, mind, soul and wallet (let's not forget about it!). Or feeling you have made someone smile more than they would have otherwise. Or both.


Maybe the truth is that we should start seeing everything we do as an accomplishment.

Yes, even this. :)
