What if the success you perceive in the world around you is an illusion? Everyone you associate with some kind of triumph or achievement is still learning. In fact, everyone is on a perpetual learning curve. In this way, success is always a personal journey.
You may evolve to wonder why human beings focus so much on success. They define it with external things more often than the sense of developing self-understanding.
It is common to admire a person who appears on top of his game, and this kind of attitude is not a problem. Yet, if you assume this has to be him and is not you, then you forget who you really are and miss a key message offered to you when you admire others. Rediscover life-transforming traits within yourself. Everyone offers a friendly reminder.
As you reflect, you will notice you are drawn to events, attracted to personalities, media images, and even lifestyle. Maybe some part of you even desires to become them.
Another way to view success is to realize everyone is on his or her own journey. It is not about trying to be someone else, but rediscovering who you are. People who are successful in their field inspire you to excel where you are. They are not the real role models of your life, you are! The success that you envision outside could be a big illusion.
Train yourself to listen to your inner voice of faith. When you conduct your life in this manner you would still come across people to guide you, inspire and motivate you. Everything is energy. The universe acts in your favor to help you achieve your dream.
