What is success??????

All over the world, people identify the concept of success with having a lot of money, achieving fame, having a good career, finding your true love, raising a family, owning your own home, possessing all the things you ever wanted, being able to retire, and things like that. However, countless people have achieved these goals only to find themselves feeling unhappy inside more often than they thought They wonder if there is suppose to be more to life than all those things, or if they just missed a secret somewhere along the line.
I would begin by equating success with undisturbed peace of mind. I would follow that by equating true peace of mind with happiness because if you've ever been really peaceful for significant period of time, you know how happy you feel inside when you're in that state. Nobody on earth is ever peaceful 100%, but truly successful people know how to return themselves to a state of peace relatively quickly whenever they become disturbed. This ability transcends all types of possessions and achievements, and it does not depend on anything for its continuing existence.
One problem with money, fame, careers, families, and possessions in general is that it's entirely possible to lose them after you've gotten them, and losing these kind of things after achieving them can be a very painful experience. Another problem is that it's also entirely possible to get something you've always want and then find out after some time that it really isn't doing what you thought it would do for you. For the person who has achieved true peace of mind and knows how to return to it when disturbances occur and that's the real key to it all,nothing on earth can take that skill away.
