A fulfilled life, to me, is one that is successful in three areas. First is success in education. Next is finding a good career. Finally, once everything else has settled down, marriage and family life becomes important. These are just a few things that a fulfilled life needs.

A good education is the key to finding success. Completing high school should be a goal for everyone. However, I believe that to be successful, one must continue one's education past high school and attend college. Grad school will further your education, but it may not be necessary. Once education is complete, everything is set up for success in later life.

Next is the need to find a career. With education complete, this should not be a problem. Pick something enjoyable, or it's impossible to be happy with the occupation. If possible, get a well-paying job; it will make things easier later on. Having a career that is enjoyable and pays well makes it nearly impossible not to be successful.

Finally, having a family may help one find fulfillment in life. An ideal family is two happily married people with two children. The most important thing in a marriage is spousal compatibility. In this age of divorce and single-parent families, happiness in marriage may seem nearly impossible. However, if married to the right person, the rest of life will be filled with contentment. When one has a family, one's success and fulfillment in life will be complete.

Anyone can lead a successful life if they put their mind to it. Be successful in education, for it is the key to how the future will turn out. Find an enjoyable, well-paying job. Finally, marriage and the raising of a family will bring fulfillment to anyone's life. No matter who you are, these three key elements can help you to have a fulfilling, successful life!
