This is correct. However as a practitioner of zen, you should also understand that success or achievement arent only revolved around getting a result. Look deeper, the very act of doing, the very act of putting in your best effort, is already a success because the journey is now the the goal. When your goal is just to do your best, and you did your best, you are already succesful in that goal. GUARANTEED.

You can only be content if your goal is to act, thus when you are in action in the NOW, you are living your goal moment to moment.

If you can only be content based on what you have achieved in the past, then you are living in the past. Thats not zen.
