From last century, however, something happened and success turned into obsession. Do you know why? Looking at nature, you can see as success is natural. Even when there is a failure and a species goes wrong, nature changes into some kind of success... Go to any garden during 6 months and just watch there.
Of course, when humanity started to heavily intervene, the balance was lost, but still you will see all species trying to have success, which is more than survive; besides being able to live, any species want to reproduce and find a happy spot in this planet. And those who fail, eventually nature take care and turn into success too.
My guess is that, as with nature, with men and women: success used to be natural, normal, and so normal that nobody comments about it. It is like going to London and get amazed to listen to people speaking English... It is normal, nobody will even notice.
But with the present obsession for success, something different is happening. On one hand, people ARE experience failure, and heavily. It is hard for people to keep a big picture and they try and try, sacrificing family life, health and friends, without realizing what they are renouncing is part of real whole success; after all, one day we all retire and so, what is the point of having success just part of our lives? This kind of success at a long term is worse than failure.
On the other hand, success panic is around. So many young people are famous nowadays and some not so young too, becoming famous overnight without the right preparation... In nature, success happens after a while, sometimes a long time, because you need to be prepared to take over the responsibility of success. The best way to solve that is not evading or delaying success, but embracing it naturally. Not changing main habits is key and instead, using success to help you to do good things in the world. Enjoying without getting lots into it.
After all, success is natural, it has to come and when it comes, just live your life better.
