What does success really mean? I found a great quote in the August 2010 Oprah magazine which says “Success is whatever you say it is, not a goal defined by others. “ I looked at this and thought Wow!

All of us in our professional lives tend to measure ourselves against whether we are promoted, get that salary increase, receive a fantastic performance review and many other “things” that society uses to tell us that we are successful. The American Heritage Dictionary defines success as "the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted." That something can be anything — such as financial rewards, the balance of family and work obligations, or the search to fulfill a personal passion.

So if all of the above is in place, why are we disenchanted with life?
