I want to define success by redefining it. For me it isn't that solely mythical definition - glamour, allure, power of wealth, and the privilege from care. Any definition of success should be personal because it's so transitory. It's about shaping my own destiny.

Anita Roddick
About This Quote

Success is a very difficult thing to define. It is something that we will all strive for and, hopefully, we will all achieve. However, success has many facets and it's impossible to define it as one thing. Instead, we should focus on finding our own definition.

We should each discover the success that we want and work towards that goal. For some of us, it may be fame and fortune. For others, it may be more simple things like happiness or joy.

Whatever we decide to do or achieve, we need to work towards this idea of success and not let anyone tell us what the definition is.
