世界衛生組織 (WHO) 將健康定義為“身體、精神和社會福祉，而不僅僅是沒有疾病。”相反，實現整體健康狀態需要有意識的認知和選擇，這也解釋阿德勒定義為“有目的的生活”的另一種方式.........幾乎所有健康的定義都同時考慮結果和過程，結果和過程兩者是指生活的首要目標和每天每分鐘的生活方式。 ……
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined wellness as "physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease. " Wellness does not just happen; rather, achieving a state of wellness requires conscious awareness and choice, which is another way to explain what Alfred Adler defined as "purposeful living".........Virtually all definitions consider wellness as simultaneously an outcome and a process, both an overarching goal for living and a daily minute-by- minute way of being. ......
成功是逐步實現預定的、有價值的目標和平衡的生活。因此，成功是一個過程，而不是一個事件。
在校學生可以認為自己在學校取得進步時已經取得了成功；不僅在他們畢業時。
父母可以認為自己是成功的，即使他們看到他們的孩子在生活的挑戰中掙扎；不僅僅是當“孩子們”從大學畢業、找到工作或他們可能設定為目標的任何其他事件時。
根據這個定義，......評估價值是過程的核心，因為目標是由個人决定的“認為值得”。最後，這樣的生活是平衡的；也就是說，身體健康和心理健康是通過熱愛家庭關係、注意良好的飲食習慣、衛生、合作工作關係等來維持的。有了這個定義，任何人都可以被認為是成功的。
<阿德勒諮詢和心理治療從業者方法第5版> ~~~托馬斯斯威尼~~~
Success is the progressive realisation of predetermined, worthwhile goals and a well-balanced Life. Success, therefore, is a process, not an event.
Students in school can consider themselves already successful as they progress through school; not only when they graduate.
Parents can consider themselves successful even as they see their children struggling with life's challenges; not only when the 'children' graduate from college, get a job, or whatever other event they might otherwise set as a goal.
By this definition,......Valuing is central to the process as goals are determined to 'worth-while' by the individual. Finally, there is a balance to such a life; that is physical health and mental health are maintained through loving family relationships, attention to good eating habits, hygiene, cooperative work relationships, and so forth. With this definition, anyone can be helped to see themselves as successful.
