Failure

When are we considered a success? I take a look at the things I achieve and they are all good. I have no complaints about what I have done. I take a look at where I am in this exact moment, in this exact second and it feels no further along the path than where I was when I first started on the path. Everything accomplished is wonderful but by society's measure it is not really worth anything because it has not netted me any monetary or material status. I know that this is not the measure of success for me, but in moments like this I feel it. I see my friends succeeding on that material level and I want it. I crave some level of tangible success a source of ongoing recognition.
