What is Success?

I had been grappling with this question since quite some time and have come across multiple versions of the answer everywhere. Some make sense, some don't. Which also means that the truth resides in your heart and if you come across something even remotely resembling it, you tend to get pulled towards it. So, in that way, whatever resonates with you also has some reflection of you.

Today morning, somewhere between that strange hour of being asleep and awake at the same time, something shouted out to me - success is nothing but your potential lived to the fullest. Startled, I got up. Who's was this voice speaking to me, and why did it suddenly make so much sense. Those who understand psychology may say this was my subconscious, those who believe in grace and guidance, will say it was some angel or spirit.

I don't know all that, I know that there is something hidden inside me that knows everything. All my questions are already answered. Just that I need to be desperate enough to tap into it. Sometimes the reflections are clearest when the waters are still. I'm not usually a morning person, but sometimes during these grey hours when light starts to embrace darkness, and you are nudged from sleep to wakefulness, I have strangely found answers that eventually become my own truth.

So, for me success is one's potential lived to the fullest, everything else is just a facade to hide behind your own reality.
