Success itself is of limited personal value. It's the evolving meaning, purpose and happiness it enables, we ultimately desire.
Success ...
... on the one hand is about results and achieving acknowledged and measurable objectives. It moves through levels of difficulty and complexity. The meaning and happiness experienced at one soon gives way to frustration and resentment, until the challenges of the next are embraced.
... on the other is about consistent, measured and acknowledged learning and development regardless of the results. Happiness and meaning are experienced in proportion to the depth and speed of the learning and growth.
The danger, as always, lies in leaping from the heavens and trying to fly with only one wing.
