What is Success?

What is it? We can say it is a feeling that surpasses all. But that does not really sum it up. So what is it? Is it some kind of drug that people often strive so hard to get and by any means which is their means.

Some wait their whole lives to find success which can just be a momentary state, feeling or whatever you might find it to be. But what drives us to get it? Athletes train for months on end to be the best, or at least contend to be. All of this with the chance that they might not even win anything at all or even gets success.

So in essence then, success could be a number of things; a feeling, a state of mind or just a place that exist only in the minds of those who so fervently try to get it. It can be also interpreted for other people than just athletes. Doctors, lawyers, scientist, teacher, and priest any and everyone have their own success that they try to achieve. Because of it, people do many things just to say that "yea I have reached the Plato called success. Some used growth hormones; some sabotage another or do unthinkable things to reach the top.

Personally I think that success is not a place that a person could arrive to; I think that it is an on going journey that has its own rewards along the way.
