Success doesn't evolve—your ability to admit what you actually wanted all along does. You chase new definitions of winning to avoid what you really want. You'll learn why changing goals is often a coping mechanism, how to distinguish evolution from avoidance, and the question that reveals your real definition. The goals you keep changing point directly to the one you're afraid to name.

Your relationship with compliments reveals whether you're driven by potential or achievement.
