At least once, you've imagined yourself as a successful businessman or a famous movie star. How do you measure this success? Perhaps the amount of money in your bank account? Or an apartment in the center of the capital?

Success is seen as a race. You work day and night to win and show everyone you are the best. And yes, this scheme works, and you will achieve the desired result. The problem is that the desire to be more successful than everyone else remains.

Let's imagine a situation. You have children and love to watch auto races. You are also involved in this sport and have good results, but one day, the children tell you they want to see you win. So you start training, forgetting about the family. Your goal is to make your children proud. This excessive passion has a negative impact. You don't take into account the needs of others, even though you subconsciously think they like it. Instead of spending time with your children, you spend it at the gym or on the track.

For your family, this sport is just a fun pastime. For you, it's the basis of your life, which you justify by their interest. Conversely, in the eyes of the family, you will not be an ideal parent after weeks of separation. Neither will you be effective in your goal even after victory. The best thing is to combine passion and wisdom to cooperate with the world around you.

Therefore, the pursuit of success always involves problems. When people strive to succeed, they look for a benchmark set by someone else. After reaching that benchmark, a new goal must be achieved. It seems endless.

When it comes to happiness, we are the ones who decide what it is for us. The understanding that certain things make you happy depends only on you. No one else can determine what makes you happy and what makes you want to live and develop further.

You need to find what you enjoy. Satisfaction is not just a feeling but a sparkle in your eyes. And we all know it is more fulfilling to spend time with happy people.
