Comments on: The Definition of a Successful Woman – Eleanor Roosevelt http://theadventurouswriter.com/soar/the-definition-of-a-successful-woman-eleanor-roosevelt/ Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:35:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Laurie PK http://theadventurouswriter.com/soar/the-definition-of-a-successful-woman-eleanor-roosevelt/comment-page-1/#comment-136 Laurie PK Sat, 30 May 2009 20:40:26 +0000 http://theadventurouswriter.com/soar/?p=432#comment-136 I think the fact that you have a mortgage is an indication of success :-) But more importantly, I love your thoughts on the definition of a successful woman: feeling excited to wake up in the morning, and going to bed feeling like you've made a difference. And feeling confident in your own body is HUGE. I'm working on self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. I'll feel like a successful woman when I can just accept and honor who I am and what I've done, without flagellating myself for my mistakes and failures. Thanks for your thoughts, Lori!

Thanks for your thoughts, Lori!

I am always trying to figure out how I define my own success. What I've come up with so far is that I need the practicality of putting food on the table, paying my mortgage and being able to feel comfortable with the amount I can spend each month; I need to feel excited to wake up in the morning and go to bed feeling like I've made some sort of difference both in my life and someone else's. I am successful when I go through my day content in my own body, with much laughter and a need to go to sleep because I've exhausted myself! Great post!
