Capstone Consultants wants to know: Why do you seek success?

“The word “success” seems to always be up in the air. Are you one of those who are trying to catch it? Grasp it? Breathe it?”

The modern man seems to want success more than ever. He has pursued it with much enthusiasm and passion. He has gone through a lot of sacrifice in the name of “success.” But only a few actually thought about the success they are pursuing. Most of us pursue success and not really have a clear end goal. Why I am doing this? Why am I searching for success?

In us, lies a natural longing for happiness and eventually eternal contentment. Look into yourself and you will see that most of your actions are fueled by the desire for joy.

When we look at it, we pursue success to be happy. Success is just the means to find joy.  Some say that they pursue success to be fulfilled, but even fulfillment is accompanied by joy. That is how you can say to yourself you are fulfilled, when you have a sense of joy in you.

Our problem today is that we have sought the means and not the end. We have pursued success for its own sake. We seem to be obsessed with the process and not the product. We sought wealth crazily only to find in the end that our possessions did not make us happy. At that point we are left with the question “What now?” It is a question that has driven many to despair.

To try to be successful for the sake of “being successful” is to have an unsubstantial goal. Success is the process of buying the food, not the food itself.

If you end up miserable in the process of pursuing success, then you just have defeated your purpose. All your accomplishments will mean nothing if you are not happy. You might have the resources to numb the pain, but it does not take it away.

Too many people think that success is wrapped up in things, but the truth is, success is wrapped up in how you see yourself and how you are able to enjoy life.

So what is your reason in pursuing success?
