Changing my definition of “success” has been a game-changer. via /r/gratitude

I've been reflecting a lot lately and wanted to share a perspective that has really helped me, especially during times of difficulty or disappointment.

Everything that happens in our lives—the wins, the losses, the times we were wronged or made mistakes—holds a lesson. True success isn't about finally obtaining the thing you've been chasing for so long, because we can't always see the bigger picture while we're in the chase.

Real success is how well we learn from our experiences, adapt, and keep moving forward. It's about the growth that happens through the journey itself, not just the destination.

What's a recent 'lesson' or 'setback' that, in hindsight, you're grateful for?
