What success means
Some questions are like friends, and we come across them every now and then. Here are my question friends about success.
Success as a performer
Doing what you want and being better every day — is success. It’s not about achieving goals. “Doing what you want” and “learning to be better” is a complete success. Do not confuse success with the outcome or achievement of goals as they are not in your hand. Walking on the road you want and becoming better at walking is success, not where the road will take you or if you would reach a destination. These matters are not in your hand. The best you can do is “WALK ON THE ROAD” and “BE BETTER AT WALKING EVERY DAY” and that is the entirety of it, THE COMPLETE SUCCESS.

Success as a human
Having and nurturing bonds is a success. The greatest satisfaction we get in life comes from having a purpose in life and all purposes are the result of our bond, our connection with something. You may be looking to teach children or feed the hungry or working to save fish or trees — but in all cases, you are making a bond and developing the bond. Thus having a bond with people or things and then nurturing your bond is a success as a human.
