From childhood, society teaches us that success is defined by two things:
👉 The job title on our visiting card.
👉 The number in our bank account.
But let’s pause and ask ourselves honestly — is that really success?
If you earn a high salary but have no peace of mind, is that success?
If you carry a big title but sacrifice your health and family, is that success?
If your days are filled with stress, anxiety, and emptiness — can that be called success at all?
✨ True success is not one-dimensional. It is a balance. A harmony. A life that feels full, not just busy.
A better measure of success looks like this:
Good relationships → people who genuinely love and support you.
Good health & wellbeing → the energy to live and enjoy life.
Financial stability → not just wealth, but freedom from constant worry.
Free time → moments to breathe, rest, and live beyond work.
Making a difference → knowing your existence adds value to others.
Liking what you do → not dreading Monday mornings.
Lifelong learning → keeping curiosity alive, growing every day.
Career → not just a job, but a path aligned with who you are.
💡 The Buddha once taught that chasing material desires without inner balance leads only to suffering. A golden cage is still a cage. True wealth is measured not by how much you have, but by how little you need and how much peace you carry inside.
So, the next time you look at your life, don’t just ask:
❌ “What’s my title?”
❌ “How much do I earn?”
Instead, ask yourself:
✅ “Am I at peace?”
✅ “Am I surrounded by love?”
✅ “Am I healthy, growing, and fulfilled?”
🌿 Because in the end, success is not about what the world sees in your bank account, but what you feel in your heart when you lay your head down at night.
✨ Redefine success. Live deeply, not just busily.
