Which would you choice and why? Serious answers someone just asked me this. I said love because im already successful. Success is to make u feel good and maybr buy u material things etc. Also what does success mean to u everyone is successful
love or success
Posted by FinbuffThis is. Why did u ask that question? How do u feel about it? To me i think im slowly climbing the stairs i feel good but my rel life sucks. Im scared ill b one of those successful beutiful women with no kids not married at home in my million dollar house bored looking for friends
Awesome question. I asked my bro the same thing 2 weeks ago looking for advice.
I feel ppl want to be successful to live it to the American dream love comfortable and do something with their life. Both would be good to me . But love is godly and beautiful. If u died tomorrow its experiences that makes us happy family love and friends i cant take success with me or money.
On flip side i want to be successful too. I hsve 3 degrees im a financial analyst single no kids. I hope to start my business soon I think im successful it's always room for growth
Posted by littlemegabytesI agree on that. Totally i feel success is something i will always have and grow with. This can be looked at in so many ways because success builds u up and give u character. Love can be lost too its such a broad topic i would love to have both. I think im already successful too with room for many growths and opportunities for the rest of my life i hope.
Success. Success to me means to reach my maximum potential as a human being on this planet. Success equals purpose, to me. Once I am successful, I believe that everything else will fall into place.
Posted by FinbuffYea i think the older we get this could change i would love to talk to my elders and see what their take is on this. As we get older like 80 90 im sure success wont be on that list it would be love encounters.
Financial Analyst - I always knew you were a smart lady. You have your entire life in front of you with nothing but success.
I asked my bro because I'm struggling with this thing right now. It becomes more difficult the farther along you get in life.
Posted by littlemegabytesThank you I hope soPosted by lovely77Yea, it really sounds like you are set. I respect your intelligence and that you see that side of it. As a woman these days, we have to be prepared for the worst (always hope for the best of course), but be realistic and set ourselves up for being independent if we have to. Never rely on a man... Bad bad bad idea! Things can go sour fast in relationships, no matter how "in love" two people can be. I've seen so many middle aged women stuck in these really awkward situations with their ex husbands because they still support her, and all of it could have easily been avoided if she chose to make her own life, skill set, and goals. I'm sure that if you continue what you are doing in your life, you'll find a great guy who is worthy of a gal like you.Posted by littlemegabytesI agree on that.

But... Love - can be considered a Success... If you read the word LOVE backwards - comes of as EVOL've. 🙂
Love - can be an evolution - from on state to another (to a duel state - that is), where it helps to know how Tango (cause if you don't know this dance - if you're not attuned to your partner's moves - you'll end-up stepping on each other's toes). ^^

Why not both?
For me there would be no success without love. Without loving what you do, you wouldn't be successful, or the material success would feel inadequate. For me success is more than material accumulation and status, and love encompasses every aspect of our lives.
Unless by "love" you mean romantic relationships? If so that is a question I'm trying to answer that for myself as I go: whether a person can be focused on their careers and achieve their career goals, while being responsible for other's/entities outside themself. Whether I can place as much effort as I can to more than one thing without sacrificing one over the other.
Yes exactly... both wouod be good love is powerful. Ppl r so much more successful when they r happy and have all streams of love it makes u more passionate in all areas of ur life.
Posted by nevesYessss wow see thats awesome too

Success... But it'll be perfect if I had someone to build with... Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone on the same wave... I'm 23 and my company is about to be in corporations and I'll be architecture graduate with a degree in construction science also, but I still wouldn't mind that "in love feeling" ...
Success.
I have endless supply of love in me already :p

Love comes and goes, career will always be priority.
Love comes and goes, career will always be priority.
At this point in my life it's love. I've accomplished everything there is to accomplish material wise that I set out to do and now there's really nothing left for me to do but make love a priority. I can have kids without regretting and resenting the sacrifice it's going to take. I can happily cater to my Libra fiancé without feeling like I don't have my own identity outside of him.
As someone with a career in medicine, I've witnessed first hand the regrets people face when they're on their death bed and the bottom line is you can't get back time that has been lost. And when you're looking at death's door, all you can think about is the time you wish you can have back that you wasted on senseless things that you can't even remember what the reason for it.
At the end of the day you can't take material things with you and I've yet to hear a person say they regret having love in their life and in some cases dying with that love right beside them.

I have been on both sides of the coin.Talking about romantic love here.
1st side:
A year or so ago, I used to be a VERY driven professional with high aims etc. I was so busy that I really had no time to give a thought to "how single I am". Whenever I used to go to the mall and saw those couples that is when I realized I am missing something. (Same when a colleague went out with her BF).
However, suddenly things took a turmoil. I wasn't able to handle office relationships and stress well. Any anyway, people out there weren't able to understand me and hated me. (7th house lord retrograde). Days got depressing and stressful. So I quit, in search of peace and love.
Result of 1st stage:
I was mildly depressed and knew I will not be able to find a job anywhere else s I had not really built up a skill in this company. But who needs a succesful, office life when you have freelance work options and online courses? I was looking forward for my new journey of love+peace
2nd side:
I quit everything and decided to stay at home with my parents for a year and learn some new skills, in the process hoping for love to come along as well. But when you are at home, your only source of communication with people is the internet. So i started a LDR with a long distance classmate but it wasn't fruitful either.
Result of 2nd stage
Having failed in both sides, I am neither here, nor there. I am financially broke and I am loveless. As a result I am going through a phase of severe depression. I am not able to build a routine where I can learn because I am sad all the time. I just eat, sleep and watch movies all day.
Your question made me realized that I "picked" both, one by one. And failed at both. Being in a state that I am, I am truly not in a position now to judge which one makes you happy, because trust me bro, both are unpredictable.
-A depressed, unemployed individual who was a "the employee with most potential" till about 1.7 years ago.

Posted by tizianiMy Libra fiancé feels the exact same! He can't separate the 2 or have 1 without the other and fortunately for him he doesn't have too.
It's a good question, I don't really have an answer.
It's tough for me to separate the two.
Everything can be worked towards, love can hit you at any moment. Success cause there's room for growth, love is much sweeter when you're successful.
Success, it's a slippery word.It's how you see a success.If it's only something that comes with a good finances, having a good paid job,that isn't for me,i'd go with love, rly success and love are 2 inseparable things...If you're successful ,have a good paid job, but you don't rly have passion ,love for the job,success you're doing, your going to be an empty person who just does things for money, for a simple piece of paper you sell your love, thats fucked up rly,how this world made humans sell their feelings for the paper with numbers on it.If you want to be realy successful i would say try to master the thing you're passionate about,the thing you love,not the thing that gives you the most money, i would say real success is when you master the thing you love and passionate about and start making money out of it,,that way you inspire people to do the same,to take action towards what you love and not be afraid of what's inside their hearts and mastering it rather than doing something just for money, you might get good career and money, but inside you will not feel successful afterwards, you need to acomplish something that's close to your heart to feel truly successful. I'd go with love,because success without love for the thing would just feel empty 🙂
