Can You Become Successful Without A Goal?

Success is always in the eye of the beholder.

You can feel successful with anything but mostly it is in comparison to something or someone else that you feel successful.

Which means that without any benchmark there can be no success.

Think about what would happen if everyone on earth had the same amount of money in their bank account.

If everyone was a multi-millionaire and any extra money anyone would make would be distributed equally again, then there would be no way to feel successful when it came to money.

In such a world, money could not become a benchmark for success, as there would be no growth, no failure, and nothing to create more money or reduce the money that you would have.

Success, in this case, could not exist.

It’s the same if everyone was fit, or if everyone always knew who the love of their life was.

Without anything to put it in relation to there can be no success.

But it is all in the eye of the beholder still; it is all still up to you and what you are struggling through.

If you never struggled to find a partner then you will not feel successful upon finally creating a relationship.
