Money, power, fame... These things can represent the rewards of successful people's achievements – but if you asked them, they'd say that it's actually the achieving that defines them – and defines their success.
We often confuse 'success' with its rewards. But that's confusing the process with the product, or the journey with the destination.
Different people, in different places and ages, have attached different meanings to the concept of 'success', but one of the key ones must be: being happy. What's the point of 'being successful' or 'gaining success' – if it doesn't make you happy?
'Success' can't just be a one-off destination. It can't just be about the rewards. Otherwise, we'd never have it, or be sure we had it, or hold on to it for long...
