The uncomfortable truth about success

External success does not guarantee inner fulfillment. Achieving goals, earning money, or receiving recognition can be good, but it does not answer on its own the question of what you live for. Happiness requires a deeper direction. If success is not ordered toward the good, to service, and to the truth, it falls short. Deep happiness rarely appears when pursued directly. It grows when you love a real good, serve others, and let God take his proper place.
