achievement is objective. everyone can see the figures on the tally sheets and agree.
success is subjective. it's how you feel.

You put it exactly in just few words.

Success is in the limbic brain; achievement is in the neocortex.

i'm with you.
some folks like to raise the bar.
i prefer keeping it lower and easily achieveable.
kinda like those mmda-designed pre-formed concrete elevated pedestrian crossings with pedestrian-unfriendly high steps, compared to the steel crossings with not-so-tall steps.

The more you go up, the bigger your goals are. Humans are wired to aim for something bigger and better, contentment is subjective.

If you want to live a simple life, move away to a place with less people and be one with nature.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
