Does Success Come with a Price Tag?
Ray Williams wrote an article about the loneliness that many successful people face at the top. Success is about hard work and commitment, but time devoted to your career comes at a price - time taken away from other spheres of your life… and we soon forget why we wanted to become successful in the first place: “The more people focus their efforts on becoming successful, the less they remember the reason they wanted that success.”
Is success a goal or a means to an end? In other words, do you want success for the “success” itself or do you want to become successful in order to achieve a higher purpose, such a providing a better living for your family or helping society?
