IMHO, many goals in life can't or shouldn't be defined and marked in their entirety and pigeon holed into SUCCESS/FAILURE. Life isn't black/white, yes/no, pass/fail, unless very tight guidelines and defined goals have been outlined...and if you do that to yourself for life you could be very well setting yourself up for a fall.
Perception of success is relative to what has been taken into consideration, regardless of how much effort is exerted - some things just aren't meant to be, the alternative may have been successful or better than the original goal but if you focus on the original you can't feel good about it.
For those things that can be defined as a success or failure, it's not the result but how you dealt with it that defines you, and you're the judge of that, give yourself a stern telling off and move on, life's too short :wink:
A successful person is not someone hung up on being a "successful person" - that's a potential suicide waiting to happen. A successful person is just content in being where they are and/or where they're heading, and that means different things to different people.
