There is a significant distinction between achievement and success. Many people have accomplished things. They obtain competitive qualifications, land high-profile employment, establish sought-after careers, and earn top-tier salaries and incomes. These are a few examples of the criteria by which many people in society measure job success. However, these items—degrees, job titles, attractive occupations, and high pay—represent achievements. The issue here is that accomplishments alone may not always equal career success.
Career success is a combination of obtaining a respectable level of financial security while performing something you enjoy, as well as discovering that you are happy and pleased with your life and career choices. People who have achieved real career success understand that money and titles aren’t everything. They understand that in order for it to matter genuinely, they must also have inner serenity and joy.
