Is Being at The Top Good for Success?
It’s not all bad, but…
Let’s start with discussing what “success” is.
Put in simple terms, it’s a positive situation you reach after efforts. Its standard definition is “The accomplishment of an aim or purpose”.
I believe this definition itself is where our problems stem from. There are many ways to “succeed”.
Success is personal
If you try to run a marathon and you reach the end, you’ve succeeded. Yet what you consider a success may not be one for another runner. They may say you need to run it under a certain time.
Despite the word having one single definition, success represents many different things for each of us.
Yet, when it comes to the game of life, the definitions merge once again.
We all want to be happy
Nobody wants a success which brings sadness and nobody wants to be happy for a minute.
While Happiness takes many forms, in itself, it is a common goal which isn’t reached through one specific action.
Achieving goals contributes to happiness overall, but it is also extremely internal. True happiness comes from within.
