For some time now, I’ve been thinking randomly about what success really is. And I kinda go down a rabbit hole whenever I start. This blog is just my scattered thoughts, written in a way that might make sense to me at the end of the day (or not?)

Is success individual or collective? Can one person be successful on her own? The more I think about it, the more I feel it’s a collective thing. I can’t achieve anything if the people around me don’t support me, encourage me, or at least don’t stop me from doing something. There’s an entire ecosystem - your partner, parents, children, friends, and so on - that helps you be successful.

Then again, what exactly is success? Is it achieving all your goals? That makes me wonder - what exactly is a goal? I know it’s personal to everyone, but goals keep changing in every phase of life, don’t they? Does that mean the definition of success also keeps changing? Will there ever be a moment when I say, “Okay, I’m successful now, and my journey toward success ends here?” What is the end goal? Is it to have money? To be happy? To be peaceful? To be healthy? To have an impact on society? Is there even an end goal at all?

And when I think even further, it all boils down to: what is the purpose of life and who am I? And that, my friend, is where the never-ending quest begins! 🙈

(Now that I re-read it, it still doesn’t have a clear ending 🤔)
