You have a lot of great information that is very useful and good to have when one is not sure of where they are headed, or possibly how to head in a direction that fits what they are wanting to attempt and if something will work. I think you do a terrific job of making these lists that are an easy and useful tool in helping to point out what one may need to do to move forward in their attempt to reach a goal when they may have been stumped for direction otherwise. I have found it helpful many times that by listing things it makes it more clear what needs to be done and in what order also. Your suggestions meet many needs that are basic and necessary to move forward and obtain some of the goals that may not have seemed obtainable if not for somone like yourself putting them to paper/computer for others to read. I enjoy reading your posts and the replies, I think it is great that we can have so many insights of varying degree and all aimed at the end result of progressing one's destination of a goal(s) with many ways to get there. Thanks for taking the time to care enough to put all that you do down for others! Best regards, Vi Hi,

I must confess, I thought I had their answers pegged - vain things like a driver's license, popularity, or a girlfriend/boyfriend. Boy was I wrong. Ninety percent of their answers had something to do with relationships. I've repeated the informal survey since, always with similar results. Adulthood changes the way we keep score. And it changes our presumptions. But I don't think it changes what matters most in terms of how we gain success in the truest sense of the word. Thanks again for your great insights.

Yes, true success does have multiple layers. I think of it this way, if I have 4 or 5 of these and one of them is missing from my life, could I really consider myself 100% successful? I don't think so, at least not for me. Were they in any order, no, not really. They all have equal weight in my book, though health and energy would be one that was way up there. :) @Bob

I've never really thought of success as having so many layers, but it makes perfect sense. Were these in any particular order? I mean the last one made sense because its the highest need according to Maslow, but were the others listed that way on purpose? I think I'd like to hit financial success first and later work on the others 8) know what I mean? Neat list. I’ve never really thought of success as having so many layers, but it makes perfect sense.
