Did you ever stop to think that maybe success isn't a destination, but rather a mode of transportation? To me being successful isn't a matter of getting somewhere (the land of 'Success') and then living there the rest of your life. If that were true I would be un-successful until I reached that destination.
I'd much rather think of success as taking a trip down a good path. A path that's taking me where I want to go and providing me with a pleasant journey along the way. With this view I can be successful wherever I am, just as long as I'm headed in the right direction.
Don't know about you, but I like that concept much better.
Keep on Stretching those Dollars!
