Life success as a socio-psychological phenomenon

Abstract

The concept of «life success» in the socio-psychological aspect is substantiated. It is found that the problem of life success is controversial, as evidenced by a number of approaches to its interpretation, and, perhaps, curiosity as well. Conditions of achievement of life success and factors affecting it are considered. It is noted that success and the social nature of man, the successful structuring of his psychological space and time are closely connected. In order to succeed, the personality must be included in the society and be separated from it. Then the personality will be able to join a professional group, to feel as a whole and at the same time to stand out, become visible,irreplaceable, recognized. In addition, the personality must feel the time of his life, without delaying in the distant future that must be achieved now. It is noted that modern ideas about an effective, successful creative personality clearly correlate with the principles of the subjective approach to understanding the life path of the individual. It is emphasized on the group of Creators, who are not only concerned about themselves, but also about other people and their own lives in general, being not only as a unique «unit in the cosmic emptiness», but also as a participant and follower of human history. The creator is characterized by the feeling that his life has been «made» by so many people before, and he can make the necessary contribution to the future himself. The Creator acquires, has and is rich to create. The essential features of the strategy of life’s success are presented.
