I can't remember who said it but there's a saying "There are no great things to be done, just small things with great love." It seems that nothing great can emerge unless you do what you love to do. And when you do what you love to do, nothing is great: you just do what you love and keep wondering why all these people think it's great and think you're successful.
What's success anyway? It's not money; probably all successful people didn't do it for the money and consequently they also kept doing it after they got money. Is success about not having to worry about mundane things? In that case anyone can be successful, just stop worrying. Is success about doing what you love? In many cases doing what you love invites success but that alone doesn't necessarily equal success.
I think success is close to arriving at a point in life where you stop "needing" things merely to complement who you are.
By this rule when you become the advertisers' nightmare you've succeeded because you don't "need" anything you don't need. Anything you think you "need" will give a warm feeling of security that always vanishes too soon, and there's always more. Success is not having to chase shadows to always get something better: success is to accept yourself as who you are so that you can be in silence from all the worlds noises and listen to yourself on how to play your life and out into the world.
If you agree with that then mastery is a device to reach success.
