We are born to be success. Born to be achieved. Determined to get what makes us better than any other. However, looking for success, we make ourselves competitors of unknown power.  

The power which we cannot define or identify. We want to make ourselves more powerful than others. We try to get fame, money and higher economical ability to make ourselves more powerful than another.  

It starts from our childhood. Being a good child of our parents, we make sure our grades are excellent, we are good at sports, we are better than other kids. The undeclare social competition starts from that sensitive age. However, this is not wrong, because the real word is harder than we imagined. Getting a good degree is easier than getting a good job or opportunity. The real world has a real challenge. Challenges to get a good job, better opportunity, better carrier, better social position, and money.  

By achieving all of these, we lost our time, an age, may the people for whom we want all of these. We become ambitious but also lose our mental peace. To become better than others, we make ourselves depressed and frustrated. Our success becomes our obstacle to being happy, being cheerful and thoughtful. Sometime people take steps to end their life for the reason of frustration and depression. Is it really a success? Is it that we want from life? Or it’s more than that. It’s more than a word that can be defined.  

Succes is not to get just a good grade in school, it means how the lesson can change your life. Success is not just to do a job; it’s about enjoying the work you do. Success is not earning money or property; it means how satisfying you are. The main success and goal of life is to have peace. The peace to see a new day with a shining sun, the peace to eat the meal of the day. The peace to make own self happy and whom we love. The peace to earn money but end the day get a good sleep with peace. The goal to achieve success is to have a peaceful life. The ability to see other happiness and success. The ability to cop up from depression when it feels higher. The technique to satisfy what we have is the real meaning of success.  

Succes cannot be defined by anything. It’s a thought what we bear. In this materialistic world it’s impossible to be success because of validation of that thing. However, if you feel at peace and satisfied with what you have, that is the real meaning of success.
