Thought it would be interesting to hear people define what the word Success means to them (it's okay to be really subjective here).
Anyone care to take a stab?

Feeling good. Happy, loving, joyful, content, peaceful, excited, passionate, fulfilled. Feeling good about where you are and looking forward to better things to come. Continuing to move forward becoming better all the time in all areas of life (spiritual, mental, social, physical, financial, etc.).

"Success is the sum of small efforts--repeated day in and day out." ~ Robert Collier
This definition is encouraging to me as I teach my children. Very much like Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
But more than that, I believe that to desire God as we go through each day is success in the core of how we were created.

Success is when it's the end of the day and the Lord delivers peace to you. when you can only think of uncompleted tasks at the end of the day and you can't sleep that is unsuccessful.

Success is looking at all of your accomplishments and being satisfied. (which is pretty much what riccetts said)
