HowDoYouMeasure SUCCESS

A Somebody considers himself successful.
People see him as a successful person.
But is he really successful? How do you measure success?

Is it having a high position job makes you successful?
Or driving luxury cars. Or living in a house so big you can call it a mansion. Or having a lifestyle where everyone kisses your ass. Or being able to fill your appetite at expensive restaurants. Or being able to do anything money can buy??

Is that SUCCESS?

Or having a job that contents you makes you successful?
Or having a loving family thats always there in good or bad. Or being able to have time to be closer to God. Or being able to atleast contribute some sadaqah. Or being surrounded by friends that have no purpose or intention to kiss your ass. Or have the heart to help others no matter how minor that help could be cos you know how it is like to be in trouble??

Is that SUCCESS?

It can be anything... any how you see it...
But don't let success blinded you with arrogance - as if you have done it all by yourself
Remember your old friends... your family... everyone that was there when you were NOTHING
Remember Allah - cos He is actually the reason you succeed; and He can take it away before you can even breathe...
