When we think of attaining success, we often think of achieving a specific goal. Whether it\u2019s landing a new account, getting a promotion, or being offered a certain salary, we think that with just one more achievement we will feel successful. But people do not change their assessments of themselves following an achievement. People react to the larger picture. When you land the account or get the promotion or a raise, the\u00a0same nagging concerns that led you to think you desperately\u00a0needed one more achievement will undermine the value you place\u00a0on that achievement.\u00a0Ultimate success neither comes with nor rides on your next\u00a0achievement. Feelings of success come with the whole of your\u00a0efforts, your beliefs, your experiences, your life. Success is based on\u00a0the total package, not the ribbon on the package.<\/p>\n

An event may be crucial in the short term, but researchers find that people\u2019s enduring self-concept\u2014their view of who they are and what they are capable of\u2014is not tied to\u00a0any single positive or negative event. Instead, a self-concept\u00a0is composed of a combination of beliefs and feelings\u00a0based on long-term experiences both at home and at\u00a0work.
