Question

Do you feel where there is true detachment there is success?

Answer 1

In the corporate world; yes.  If one has only the mindset to get to the top of the corporate ladder without regards to whom they hurt, then yes, he/she will find success.

But with that success also comes failure in his/her personal life.  A spouse and children may come later on in life but the detachment doesn't just stop on the business level but is also extended to the personal life and affair.  He/she may find himself/herself showering their 'so-called' loved ones with materialistic things in efforts to make them happy or so he/she thinks is making them happy..

Unfortunately, the successful business man/woman no longer has a grasp on what truly makes someone happy; the little things which don't cost a cent.

Answer 2

if you are detached then how could you acknowledge success if it doesn't matter to either way.

Answer 3

Yes. Attachment to things, or status, or whatever can be a prison of sorts. Learning to let go and be can be very freeing.

Answer 4

i would rather replace success with peace.
