When have you "Made It"?

[supergirl]

This may seem like a silly answer, but I kind of believe that you never really "make it."

I mean, if I woke up tomorrow and thought to myself, "I've made it," then what would I spend the rest of my life doing? Just maintaining my made status? Or are there different levels of having it made?
There are times when I think I've never been happier, and then I think, what if I'm never happier than this moment. That's a downer to me. I like to think that being completely happy and having it made are unattainable statuses, but ones that we spend the rest of our lives, still striving for.

For me, I guess I'll know I've made it when I die, and I know I can do nothing more with my life.

I can agree that you should always seek more in life. It makes perfect sense to always strive for more, or seek more enjoyment out of every day. Otherwise, like you said, what's the point?
It's a circle of life, sometimes you will feel on top of the world, other times, life will seem to be getting the better of you. IMHO it all depends on how you handle each, don't get too far ahead of yourself, and don't let yourself get stuck in the mud.
As far as what does "made it" mean? Its up to each person in my opinion. For me, I have reached many of my goals for this point in my life. If I went back 5-7 years ago, and thought of a realistic picture of where I would like to be today, I would say I have met most points, and even exceeded a couple. I have a great family, at a point in my career where I am comfortable and successful, and see where I can be in the future with more hardwork. Like all of us, I have many more things to do in life, so I have many more goals to achieve. Life is a journey, not a destination.....
