From time to time we all feel like we have failed completely. This is a normal feeling, but one must find a way to look at oneself and one's life from another angle. Sometimes we overlook the "little things."
Just because you're not a millionaire, don't live in a mansion or drive an expensive car, doesn't mean you're a failure. In fact, it's quite the opposite, writes Life Hack.
Check out 20 signs that you are succeeding in life:
1. Your relationships aren't as dramatic as they used to be.
Drama is not personified with maturity. As we age, we must become more mature. So there may have been a lot of drama in your relationships in the past, but if that period is now behind you, then you've made it.
2. You are no longer afraid to ask for help and support.
Asking for help is not synonymous with weakness. In fact, it's a strong trait. No one has ever succeeded in isolation. Teamwork is required to achieve goals. Asking for help is a sign that you have grown as a person.
3. You've raised your standards.
You no longer tolerate bad behavior - from other people and even from yourself. You hold people accountable for their actions. You no longer spend time with "energy vampires" in your life.
4. You let go of the things that don't make you feel good.
No, it's not narcissistic, even if it looks like it. Loving yourself is success. Love yourself enough to say no to anything that doesn't make you happy, doesn't work for you, or holds you back.
5. You have moments when you appreciate who you see in the mirror.
Ideally, you should appreciate the person you see in the mirror at any given moment. Even if it doesn't happen, if you do it more often than before, that's a success. Love yourself. You are awesome.
6. You've learned that setbacks and failures are part of self-growth.
Not everyone can be successful in 100% of time. That's just not realistic. There are wins and losses in life. So look at your setbacks as stepping stones to something better. Actually, there is no such thing as a stumbling block. It's all part of an amazing journey.
7. You have a support system that includes people willing to do anything for you.
If you have found the people who "have your back" and recognized the ones who are only pretending, then you have succeeded. It's a painful realization, but once you learn to recognize the signs of betrayal, you can stay away from these people.
8. You don't complain much.
Because you know you have nothing to complain about. Unless you've been through some horrific experiences and had unimaginable losses, most of the things we experience on a daily basis are just ordinary. All successful people know this and they live in a world of gratitude.
9. You can celebrate the successes of others.
Just because others succeed doesn't mean you've failed. Cheer on the people who rise to the top. The more positive energy you give to the victories of others, the more you will create.
10. You have hobbies that you pursue.
Don't stand still. You know you have something wonderful to contribute to this world. You have a unique talent and gift. Not only do you know this, but you pursue it.
11. There are things you look forward to.
If there aren't exciting things happening in your life that you're looking forward to, then you're dying slowly on the inside. Successful people create goals that they pursue with determination. They allow this elation to drive their lives.
12. You have goals that have come true.
Although "failures" are a part of life, you have stuck with your goals and dreams long enough to make them come true. You have felt the victory. It recharges you.
13. You feel compassion for others.
A person who does not feel sympathy is dead inside. Compassion equates to spreading love and positive energy into the world. Successful people know this. They love others as their family.
14. You love deeply and allow yourself to be loved.
Love is risky and sometimes scares people. It's the thing we strive for the most, but also the thing we fear the most – rejection. If you open your heart enough to love and be loved, then you have succeeded.
15. You refuse to be a victim.
You know life doesn't always just happen to you. In many cases, you are involved in creating your experiences. Successful people know this and refuse to be broken by different experiences. They rise and conquer, either way.
16. You don't care what other people think.
You know you can't please everyone. You know that the standards by which society judges people are very often unrealistic. So you stay true to yourself and love the person you are.
17. You always look on the bright side of things.
Life can be full of disappointments – if you choose to see them as such. Otherwise, they are opportunities to learn. No negative experience is wasted as long as you learn from it.

18. You accept what you can't change.
Let's face it - there are a lot of things in life that you can't change. All you can change is the way you look at what is happening. If you can change your negative way of looking at things to a positive one, then you have succeeded.
19. You change what you can.
Let's face it again - there are many things you can change in life. Successful people don't just sit back and accept the negative things that can be changed. They step up and do something about it.
20. You are happy.
This is the best definition of success. It doesn't matter how much money is in your bank account, how big your house is, or how many expensive vacations you go on. If you are happy then you succeed in life.
Even if you don't see yourself in many of these 20 things, don't beat yourself up. Everything is fine. Be happy that you saw yourself in a few of them. In time the others will come too. You just have to keep moving onward and upward.
