How to Find Success in Our Daily Lives

Feb 23, 2023

Success is a term that is thrown around quite often, but what does it really mean to be successful? Success means different things to different people, but at its core, success is about feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. It is about reaching your goals and finding happiness and contentment in the journey.

There are many different paths to success, and what works for one person may not work for another. The first step is to identify what you really want out of life. This may seem simple, but it can be surprisingly difficult to do. We often have a vague idea of what we want, but we don’t take the time to think about it in depth. Clear your mind and ask yourself - What brings you joy and what is most important to you?

Once you have a clear idea of what you want, the next step is setting goals that will help you achieve it. Goals give us direction, purpose and help us stay focused. Your goals should be specific, measurable, and achievable. For example, instead of setting a goal to “be happy,” set a goal to “spend time with family and friends each week” or “take a dance class every week.”

Another important aspect of finding success is to take action. Success is not something that just happens to us, we have to work for it. Be proactive, and take steps towards your goals every day. Success is a journey, not a destination. We can’t just sit back and wait for it to happen – we have to be actively engaged in making it happen.

Finally, one of the keys to finding success is to have a positive attitude. Successful people have a can-do attitude, and they believe that they can achieve their goals. This doesn’t mean that they are always optimistic, but they have the ability to see the positive in difficult situations and they remain determined in the face of setbacks.

Another aspect of fulfillment is how we can impact others, and the world around us. Our success can involve fighting hunger, and helping the less fortunate. We all have a responsibility to make a difference in the world. This can involve volunteering our time, donating money to charitable organizations like Yad Ezra V’shulamit, or simply being kind to those around us.

By helping others, we not only make a positive impact on their lives, but we also feel more fulfilled and satisfied in our own lives.

Finding personal success through trials.


Life can often present us with unexpected challenges, but in difficult times, extending a helping hand can make all the difference. Chaim, a devoted husband and father of three, is faced with the unique circumstances of having a child with Down syndrome, and despite his best efforts, his income is inadequate to meet his family's needs. To supplement his resources, Chaim receives a weekly food basket from the charitable organization Yad Ezra V'Shulamit. In a testament to his character, he also selflessly volunteers his time to assist five other families who are similarly struggling.

In conclusion, success means different things to different people, but at its core, it is about feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. To find success, we need to identify what we really want, set goals, take action, develop positive habits, and have a positive attitude. We must always remember that our success can also impact others, and we have a responsibility to help those around us. When we strive for success while also making a positive impact on the world, we can truly find happiness and fulfillment in our lives.

We, at Yad Ezra V’shulamit, are proud of how many we have helped in 2022. These accomplishments are worth celebrating, so we’re sharing them with our community or donors, without whom we could not have achieved them.
