Acharya Prashant clarifies that he does not consider himself a success, as the very notion of success as a fixed endpoint is flawed and immature. He explains that declaring oneself successful is only possible if one's targets are too small or limited, which leads to self-deception. While there may be relative milestones along one's journey, they hold little significance in an absolute sense. He warns that the common idea of success, often equated with money, prestige, and social standing, is a debilitating trap that limits a person's potential and prevents further growth.
