I think my obsession with success is why I have failed so much. I guess I just want it so bad, I probably wouldn't know what to do with it if I ever obtained it.

You will be successful at the long run if you are truly obsessed with what makes you successful. You shouldnt be obsessed with success itself. There are differences between the two statements. If you are obsessed with success itself you will grow weary and unhappy
Exactly, the people who make huge sums of money, really don't care about the money, they care about the success. Look at Warren Buffet. He still eats at McDonalds, drives his old car and live in same house as he did for the last 30 years.
I on the other hand want to enjoy the fruits of my labor and buy toys, so I don't know if I will ever be able to achieve success, seeing I actually want to enjoy my money. The only people I know that have a lot are people who work 80 hours a week, live in crappy houses below their means, don't go on vacations, don't buy anything and save every dime. Sure they are rich in money, but they are poor in life experience.
Sorry for the long rant.
I literally just published the same article, Unsuccessful: A look at success
You hit the nail on the head here about success being relative - and that's what I intend to highlight through comedic irony. On the quest to success - we may never find the answer if we become so obsessed with an ambiguous term or judgement!
