When people talk about success what they often mean is money, wealth and fortune.

They use success synonymously with being rich and that is not what success is about at all.

Success is achieving the life you want to live.

Too often do we see people that are rich and famous that despise their lives and that should drop it all for doing what they love. But they never do.

And because those people are idolized in the media, on the web and everywhere on the planet, we believe that success is about whatever they are having.

But we never see behind their curtain.

We never see how happy they truly are or how great their life is.

Sure, it seems great, but would you truly be happy if you had what they are having?

Imagine your life of riches, fame, success, or whatever else… how would you spend your day?

I assume that you would be able to figure out how to spend a day, maybe even a week, but what would you do if you lived that life for a month, a year, or a decade?

Would life remain happy just because you had what they had?

Success is measured by how satisfied you are with your own life, not by what you have accomplished or how happy
