Exactly. I know far too many people who are motivated to achieve this arbitrary construct of "success" without taking the time to step back and question whether "success" or their definition of success will bring them the ultimate goal - happiness.
My favorite example of this is two friends... one in finance and the other a simple high school teacher? Who has more "prestige"? who has more "money"? who wears a suit and gets to look "fancy"? The former.
BUT. Which is more fulfilled? Who gets to make a positive impact in someone's life? Who gets to sleep at night, haha. Certainly, the latter.

Yes. Everyone's definition of success is different.
