What Is Success? Does It Really Exist?
The feeling of Success is always in the eye of the beholder.
It is not about your finances, career, or romance, but about what you deem valuable.
If you find family more valuable than your career, then you will not find success in your career no matter how far you go.
The same is true in reverse, or with anything else you value.
Only what you value will bring you a feeling of success.
That can be anything, but it has to be something that actually means something to you.
The common term ‘success’ often refers to career success.
It means being financially free, having a good career, and being overall well liked and respected by the people around you.
It is an overarching term for everything that one could rise in.
The problem is that it’s not something that most people actually feel successful doing because they do not find it valuable.
What they value is not actually tied to the success, but to something that that success may bring.
What they value is what brings them feelings of self-worth and has nothing to do with what the world subconsciously agreed on is supposed to lead to success.
