What Makes You Successful

A high paying job..
is what some might say. 
That makes you successful..
in the world today. 

Gathering gold metals..
might be worth a shot. 
Success is not given..
We must try a lot. 

Success in your life..
can mean many things.
It's not just being married..
and wearing the rings. 

We can be successful..
as long as we try. 
Put your best foot forward..
and try to comply. 

Success can't be measured. 
Success will be there.. 
Success' INSIDE..You.
Show that you care. 

Being successful..
means that you have love. 
Love to give others.
Love from above. 

Many successful people..
Don't drive fancy cars. 
Successful people..
end many wars. 

MATERIAL THINGS...
don't mean you're a success.
It's LOVE and FRIENDSHIPS..
that we want to possess.

Success is contentment. 
Success..peace of mind. 
Success is being patient. 
Success is being kind. 

Successful people..
are like you and like me.
It's not just our jobs..
that make success..be.
