Feeling Excited

​Achievement and success aren't necessarily the same. While one fulfills your goals and dreams the other will bring you earnings.
 
Which one of these is more important? Well, it depends who you ask. 

To me achievement is often more significant than success. Don’t get me wrong; of course I like the success part.  Yet, the feeling of accomplishment is beyond words—the butterflies in the stomach, the weak knees, and the lightheaded feeling—is mesmerizing. That hypnotic moment when the adrenaline reaches high levels and then drops.
 
It’s addictive. And when it happens, it stays with me for a long time.
 
Yesterday, the first order of packaging supplies for my new business, Crooked Cracker, arrived at the door. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to open the box. I was eager to see the supplies. I hoped they would be as attractive as I had envisioned when I placed the order. 

As I unpacked the delivery and examined the supplies for some time, it felt much the same as when my first box of published books arrived. Both were a sign of accomplishment. They brought a feeling of hope for great things to come—the success.

Which is most important to you, accomplishment or success?
