Success is not external, we can't measure it with a scale or a gauge,
Success can only be felt internally as it has something to do with emotions within. At simplest levels, success is one's relationship with himself. Many people are spending their lives living a lie. They choose to ignore and disconcert from what they want deep down.
Some want more for themselves. They have dreams and desires, they are ambitious. Yet only a few of these get what they intended.
Being ambitious is nothing more than a dream, dreams come and go. Important is commitment.
Once you're committed to something, you will do whatever is needed to achieve that one thing. You will stop spending your time in unimportant things, you will stop being distracted and start in building something that is of more importance. You will start learning and connecting. You might fail but you will start getting partially what you wanted. It's far better than a long list of ambitions because you will have something tangible, something that reflects your inner values. People will start noticing your inner capacity. You will start manifesting your inner world in the outside environment.
If you're committed to a relationship your physicality will change in a way it's needed to have a strong and healthy relationship. You will start optimizing yourself and so will your surroundings and things will start to work. If you're committed to your job, you will start doing things that would take you to the next level. You won't get stuck in your blockages, you will start getting past them, your blockages will stop blocking you.
Only the committed ones will become a new person in order to live a life they once used to dream about.
Those who are committed tastes the Success.
Wanting more than what you have is a common desire. Merely, craving something is not respected. Staying completely committed to something is rather rare because commitment requires authentic efforts.
It's hard to ditch the false idea of yourself that you mistake you are. You have no clue about what you truly are! Most importantly there is no permanent "you" only temporary illusions for often shorter times. If you have convinced yourself that "you" are permanent that is an error in your conscious(or subconscious). Get rid of that "you" it's what has been blocking you for so long, it's what has been limiting you from unlimited possibilities. You are not stagnant but you are infinity itself.
Conclusion
If you are committed to something, you will reshape yourself in a way it will support you to achieve your goals. You will evolve and eventually become the best version of yourself, you will do more than you ever could because your current view about the world is rather limited, you will change and so would your world. Stay committed for you're different than average!

I think it is hard for people to stay committed because they are scared of failing. But then they forget that today's successful people learned from a series of failures before they found fame and fortune.

people find commitment difficult because they compare instead of staying put and then they lose motivation.

It all depends on how you define "success". What is your yardstick? You rightly said that it's not external and can't be measure by any gauge.
So I don't subscribe to the view that accomplishing certain external goal can be labelled as success or when people start noticing your inner capabilities. Mere manifestation of the inner world in the outside environment can't be termed as success. These are not the yardsticks. Then what actually is success?
Okay, I'd like to ask you a question here:
Suppose one decides to commit his/her efforts to accomplish Goal-A. Then the question arises, wouldn't it was better had he/she been committed themselves towards Goal-B or C or D? May be Goal-A wasn't even worth accomplishing. And this you find only after accomplishing Goal-A! So you feel defeated.
I just want you to explain in little more detail.
