Too many times, we go out in search of success in various aspects and end up getting so overwhelmed by the desire for it that we lose track of the reasons we wanted it to begin with. We begin to change... we begin to find ourselves fitting into a mold that wasn't designed for us.
Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
Seeking success in the world is much the same as chasing your own tail... there will always be someone more successful than you; there will always be those who do not consider you successful. It is only when you do according to the will of God that you know true, uncompromised success - the kind of success that doesn't require worldly involvement, approval, or confirmation - the kind that is only dependent on the holy spirit!
No amount of success in this world will ever make you content. If you find that you are in a place you have always dreamed of being, but you are still seeking more; still feeling that something is missing... that is because your success is literally only skin deep. The Spirit penetrates so much further.
