One reason we have so many people who believe they have not achieved success in their life is because the vast majority of the population have a flawed understanding of what true success really means.
In order to achieve any goal or objective, it is necessary to define what the goal or objective really is. With this fact in mind, let's look at some realities about success that are often overlooked by most people.
Becoming successful financially is viewed by many as "being successful." Yet there are a multitude of financially well off people who are not happy, feel unsatisfied or unfulfilled. Others believe that by reaching a high level of achievement in business, sports, entertainment or academics is becoming successful. Here too, just take a look at many of these people's lives and you readily see those who do not feel fulfilled, satisfied or have peace of mind.
The problem is that they have missed the true meaning of success.
True success is achieving an inner peace which is a gift from God that comes from a correct understanding of how He has made us and who we were meant to be; what is our true purpose in this life and the pursuit and work to fulfill that purpose.
"Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth." (1 Timothy 6:6)
