Defining "success" I think for most people is financial security, whichever way they attain this. Most people want a good education and good paying jobs, while others choose to become actors. Another reason is to make friends and family proud. It is as natural instinct as breathing, we all want to do our best and be the best we can be.

well I don't think it's just you, its everyone around, everyone wants to be something in life, feel like they want to achieve something (some do it for the fame, for being known, for personal reasons, achievements, proving someone or something wrong etc.)...whatver the reason, the reason is the driving force behind anyone's success. What you have to do is find out the reason, and you'll know why.

Possibly because you want nothing less than the best for yourself. Frankly, I believe it is sinful to pursue mediocrity.
You are the only one to define personal success.
However, you must not allow the distractions and failures along the path to render you ineffective.
Remember that, to fail at something is understandable--its not trying that's disgusting.

doing what you want to do IS success in life.
do the kind of work you want to do.
marry the kind of girl you know you can truly be happy with.
have the # of children you want.
be active in your community - vote, volunteer, etc - and make a difference
be honest and forthright in your business affairs - you will be profitable if you are
Love God and make Him visible in your life. He is the fountain of life, drink deeply.

It's how most people feel. The opposite would be feeling you have to be a huge disappointment, and who do you know wants or thinks that? lol

because the world expects it of you, and only you can decide that it might be a little less than huge... I no longer want to be famous... I just want to be happy now... thank heavens...
