Social Would you consider yourself successful?

[Fedorgasm]

I make decent money and have a wife that's out my league and great kids.

But I still only rated myself a 7 because I feel like I could've done more. Also I'm not very physically fit.

How did you get them ........ Rebel!!

Just being edgy as fuck and wearing a leather jacket..

I posted on a banned topic and suggested that limiting speech on the banned subject created more space for perpetrators of the crime. A classic case of the plusses and minuses of censorship.

No hard feelings on my part, forum owners can do what they like with the forum!

I own a piece of power, so you tell me!

You can forgive yourself more imo, doing well or not isn't something we can really effect. The universe is what it is. You'd probably be less critical if you were thinking about a friend who was in the same spot.

@pugilistico like.

I feel like it. Come from a white trash family , only got a ged, married high school sweet heart , moved out of the slums and worked my way into owning a piece of my business started a family.

I'm not rich or anything but I feel I've come a long way from where I started and where i was. I've also grown as a person over the years to where when I look myself in the mirror I'm alright with who looks back

That is indeed some degree of success. And I'm not done yet.

 

[Brampton_Boy]

This is a tough question - my life is wildly imbalanced. I am very successful professionally, but my personal life and health are in shambles. Years of bad decision making are culminating in an existential (and physical) crisis at 40 years old.

Also, despite being successful professionally, I don't feel fulfilled. The sunk cost of trying to do something different is too high - I literally gave up most of my adult life in the pursuit of being a professor and respected academic. I don't even know what else I would be good at or would enjoy.

With all of that being said, I am very grateful. The fact that I can even entertain thoughts of finding a vocation with purpose is a luxury most people don't have.

3, wasted potential. I've better learned how to identify and deal with my particular dysfunctions though, and I fully expect to reach somewhere between 7-9 at some point. Also though fuck it I had a hell of a time.

 

[Cole train]

Hell no, i have failed at everything that matters or that i ever tried lol

It's not over until you're dead bro, get back out there and try again.

Certainly plan not to be banned! Like I said, it's the forum owners right to censor speech as they see fit, the mods etc do a good job with this forum and I've had no real complaints for the last decade and a half or whatever. They made their position clear so fair enough.

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Have I accomplished all of my aims and purposes that I had as a young man? No, but on the other hand, I wasn't all that serious about realizing my aims and purposes, nor did I have any "must" aims and purposes which left me devastated because I didn't achieve them.

Am I in a good place now? Pretty good. Not bad.

Am I financially secure? Yes.

Do I have people in my life who care about me? A couple.

Am I healthy for my age? Am I happy? Slightly above average as a guess, but not more than that.

Score: 6 out of 10.

Same here. Same score I’d give myself too.

 

[Romulas]

I don't allow myself to feel successful because I will get lazy but realistically speaking I feel like my life is a 9/10.

 

[MMA IAN]

When I was younger I only considered material wealth as a sign of success but having a high paying job didn't make me happy. Now I make less than half as much but in a job I love waking up and going to every day. I love the lifestyle it gives me and I have a beautiful wife making a lot more money than me who keeps me well looked after.

Yeah, I think I'm pretty successful. 9/10

Basically, find a rich woman who falls in love with you and do whatever job makes you happy.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I’m self employed and employ 12 other people full time now. I’m super happy with that. I’m just glad I found something I am good at and enjoy doing. I am really happy with my life and calling my own shots. Fuck middle management!

 

[Travis Alexander]

I own multiple successful companies with a couple of my closest friends. We have built two companies with a combined 136 employees total between them which fills me with pride to be able to have a positive impact on so many lives. They are thriving and successful. One has plateaued and isn’t reasonably scale able any further(while still being pretty profitable by most metrics) the other is rising at a meteoric rate. I train 6x a week and am in fantastic physical shape. I am one of the last true sherdoggers on the site. Still im quite a ways from my goals but I genuinely wouldn’t trade my life for any other.

Damn with all those things you mentioned I think you should be higher than 6.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

nope u fortunately Im a failure

I'm about a 7. I'm not financially free, but I can go by.

But I measure my success base on how I am with the relation of the people who are close to me and I think I'm rather successful in that case.
