Chasing Success
I'll start this by saying I believe in being successful and aiming for success. That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing.
When it becomes a bad thing is when you place all your hope in being successful. The people who have reached the pinnacle of success in their given area of practice are often the most lonely and the most unfulfilled.
So don't mistake success for happiness or fulfillment. Success is just something to aim at and to not base your happiness on.
I think we can safely say success isn't everything it's made out to be.
I would rather have a few good relationships, food, shelter and clothing rather than be a lonely and empty person who has achieved success above everyone else in my field.
Sometimes true success is a whole lot less flashy than we think.
