How do you define success, at least for yourself? Have you reached it?

For me, success is incremental. I am successful because I get things done. I tend to get things done when I focus on completing them. I have had many successes in my past and they are touchstones, but I don't stop having successes. Sometimes, success is being a good dad that day. Sometimes success is going to the gym. I have small successes every day and I'm thankful for them. I wanted to be a professional actor in Hollywood films. I was not successful in doing that, but I have been in films as an actor. So, in that, I have been successful. I think we have to look at our life, realize those places that we have had success and be thankful for them.

Use a budgeting app or a simple spreadsheet to lo...
