There are two ways of defining real success. First, success is deemed by some as the amount of money and prestige accumulated during their lifetime. Second, it is happiness and contentment one gets after going through any kind of ordeal in life. No matter how people see success, its pursuit does not necessarily mean really looking for it.
There are, in fact, times when success seems to evade a person who has dedicated their mightiest strength and knowledge to it. There are even times when, after a person achieves something, they are still void of a truly high sense of success, as if there is a hunger in them that needs to be constantly fed in order to reach a certain summit of success.
There is no singular terminology or feeling that one can attribute to success if the person is to really scrutinize it. No matter how much time and effort one uses to achieve success, it will be elusive to those who are too busy looking for it. Disappointment is bound to happen if one expects too much.
To be successful is to achieve personal gratification that is beyond one’s expectations. So we shouldn’t set a marker or a limit to what success is. Great things can only be called as such if it is beyond one’s imagination. People should free themselves from creating rules for being labeled successful. A person’s disbelief of God or luck or karma does not negate or disprove them. At the end of the day, one can only look at the overall outcome of things and accept everything that transpired with a pat on the back and a thought that no matter what the end is, success is not something you look for, it is something you always have if you have wholeheartedly lived your life.
