Success, happiness, what?

Lets think, what being successful means, and is it different from being happy??

If success means achieving what makes us happy, then happiness is to feel that we are successful, is it not? 

But where does this happiness come from?

From being successful?

We know, happiness doesn't come from money, and the worldly things, but everyone of us seems to be running after such things, a higher job, a bigger house, a faster car, a smarter phone, why? Because we attach being successful to having these things.  

And, when we have these things, and we feel successful, we are happy, but then this happiness slips away, as there is something more, bigger or newer that we want! 

We are running a race that is going on, for more and more, and mostly just being part of this race means that we are successful, but the question is what are we successful in? 

In consuming more?

In wanting 'more'? 

In spending more?

And when we cannot, we feel dissatisfied, incomplete, left behind in this race, which is endless, of course. 

So, what is that we are actually after? Success in money, power or happiness?

These are the questions we might ponder, yes,  lets think, what is happiness? 

Is it success that makes us happy or is it happiness that makes us successful?
