But the then-First Lady offered a tip on how to find the “right” kind of success: by reflecting on what it is that truly sparks our joy and pursuing that authentically. “You will never be happy plodding through someone else’s idea of success,” she said. “Success is only meaningful — and enjoyable — if it feels like your own.”
