That really depends on the task and the aspect of life in question. However, you want to know what metric I avoid measuring at all costs? How I compare to others. That's a no-go zone and a door to chaos right there.

ENFP

Gemini

I measure it by how happy my actions have made me

INTJ

Pisces

I set small things to achieve, that together make up a bigger goal. As long as all the smaller goals are finished, it'll lead to a bigger task being checked off and therefore I'm always making forward progress. That's success to me.

INFP

Cancer

If my children are safe, fed, loved, wanted and we have a roof over their head then I have succeeded (edited)

INTJ

Taurus

Honestly, one step at a time. Set a goal, achieve it. Set another goal, achieve that. And reward yourself for your achievements.

INFP

Taurus

By how it affects my family and the people around me. I do not act alone. What I do influences my family, my friends, my clients and my coworkers. If my actions help them in any way I count myself successful

INTP

Virgo

By my personal goals and if I'm doing my personal best ❤

INFP

Sagittarius

How many people I made smile, myself included!

There's only one metric about being successful that matters becoming a better person a little bit more each day

ENTJ

Taurus

By the strength and positivity of my impact on those I interact with. 🙏❤️

INTP

Scorpio

I don't. Because 99.%of the time when I thought I was doing good. I was told I wasn't regardless of correct answers. Which is usually why I give a better one then right one and then I'm told I'm wrong 😃 and it's the same every day. I compare my self to everyone. An I was more successful in parts of my life then they were. An vice versa

ENTJ

Aquarius

knowing I am proud of myself with how strong I am regardless on how progressive my day was!

INTJ

I would like to say by whether I made a difference; whether the world is a better place as a result of me being in it. But, to be honest, over the last couple years I've been asking myself "So, is this it?" I'm still working on figuring that out.

INFP

Virgo

I love this question because it says "own success." My success will not be the same as another, nor do I think is it dependent on money, social status etc. I have a goal I want to achieve and in order to reach that goal, I set up realistic smaller goals that pave the way to the main goal. How do you eat an elephant, they say- one bite at a time. 🙌

ENTJ

Gemini

By looking into your mirror and being proud and happy with what you see. Meaning, if I'm happy I'm successful.

INFP

Scorpio

When u can help others

INFP

Capricorn

You measure success by your shoe size. Every step you take, take it forward. Even if you have to walk backwards to a backpedal, you are moving. Success doesn't come in spurts, it comes in a lifetime, and like perfection it always changes. Though never truly attainable to its fullest extent, you take every smaller success, every single one, and you hold it dear to yourself, even that one foot forward. That is what makes you.

ENTP

Gemini

By how many of my own personal goals I have completed and started and evaluating the ratio at which I'm actually completing what I want and need to.

INTJ

Aries

By how many times I failed before hand

INFP

Cancer

Happiness, contentment, and free love. The more love I can spread the better...

INFJ

Cancer

One step at a time

INTJ

Virgo

I measured on how happy I am and how long I can stay comfortably happy, different for everyone

ESFP

Cancer

I look at My Daughters and see how Happy they are

INTJ

Aquarius

For me, the measurement of success has a lot to do with specific goals I set for myself. There's a method of goal making I learned in hs called "SMART" goals and they really help with this. S(imple) M(anagable) A(ttainable) R(ealistic timeframe/expectations) T(ime constraint) The last one is one of the most important ones for me, because THATS the kicker. Can I do xyz properly in a timeframe. If yes { Goal met } else { push whatever I didn't do into a future goal.

INFP

Sagittarius

By the people around me. The friends, family, strangers. Just by thanks.

INFJ

Virgo

Through the quests one completels in the day no matter how big or small stay high vibed and humbled

INTJ

Taurus

I compare myself only to who I was yesterday.

INTP

Scorpio

Don't measure yourself to someone else today. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday.

ISFP

Libra

With my very own succesometer! (patent pending).

INTP

Taurus

By how happy i am

INTP

I imagine myself when I'll have a few days left to live. If there is no regret, then I did well. I have a few things to do before reaching that point.

ENTP

Scorpio

By how others react when they see me.

ENTP

Cancer

Laughs and smiles (yours and those around you) are worth most points, then in descending order are burritos, dog kisses, green lights, workouts, high fives and beach days

INTJ

Cancer

By setting a personal goal, making a plan, and acting on it 💪😎

INTP

Leo

Setting short term and long term goals and reaching them. It's important for me to take mental and emotional inventory along the way because the journey itself is just as amazing as the end result and when reminiscing on how I got from point A to point B I find myself smiling...I can't help but feel proud, accomplished and successful.

INFP

Aries

If I'm happy, I'm successful. Really all it takes.
