Our personal life results show us whether we are achieving anything. Are we happy? Do we have plenty of friends and family around us? Are we healthy? Free of money problems? Unless you are happy, healthy, and creative and surrounded by people you love who love you back, you cannot be living a successful life.
Is the life of a millionaire who uses his money to educate children any less meaningful than a priest? Is being the head of Amnesty International less successful than being a nun? Is being a corporate superstar more important than raising happy children? What defines success?
Some work very hard trying to live a life that matches up to these so called ideals and there are many conclusions to the above questions. But are they happy? Are they really successful? There are many principles and laws written on life but did it get those that have tried to obey them anywhere in the end?
Philosophy is the study of the theories of life. When people study philosophy, they often end up with more questions than they started with. For some this study has given their lives more meaning and for others it is a complete waste of time.
Our personal life results show us whether we are achieving anything. Are we happy? Around us do we have plenty of family and friends? Are we healthy? Free of money problems?

The reality is proving different even though you may be obeying all the rules of a philosophical life. You need to stop following rules dictated by other people and decide what you personally want out of your life. You only get one chance to live life and you might as well choose it to be a happy and healthy one. Get out of the rat race for a couple of hours… make a decision today to stop what you are doing and decide what it is you want to achieve from your life.
Next you need to evaluate your current actions. Will you achieve your dream lifestyle if you continue living the way you are? If yes; then great. But I suspect this exercise will probably highlight a number of things you should be doing differently. You should be eating more healthy foods, nourishing your body and your mind and taking more exercise.
You need to clear up any confusion you have about what success means to you. Instead of worrying about what philosophers say is the way to happiness; concentrate on achieving your version of a successful happy life.
