Success?

Success is feeling good about the work you do throughout the long, unheralded journey that may or may not wind up at the launch pad. - Chris Hadfield, An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth

This quote resurfaced today on my Readwise.

It made me think about our varied and many definitions of success.

About how those definitions change as we progress in life.

But also about how, if we don’t have define it well, we may find ourselves chasing a moving goal post, forever.

When I reflect on the quote above, I can’t help but think that in this case, success = progress, and it puts a smile on my face.
