The other day I thought about my top accomplishments. If someone asked you, “what are your biggest accomplishments thus far in life,” what would you say? I considered my answer:

I have succeeded in securing a mate, one of the primal purposes of mammalian species. My partner is the best, perfect partner for me. She is supportive and significantly increases my happiness, as well as my chances for “success” in life
I maintain a strong, close relationship with both my parents well into my thirties. That stat about children spending X% of their time with parents before age 18 is not true for me. My parents are two of the most important people in my life, and have enriched my experience. I go to them for advice and learn from their perspectives

These accomplishments might be atypical. Perhaps I can focus on the more “traditional” success measures. But I am proud of them nonetheless. What are yours?
