    For me, `success` means, `fulfilment`.

    One has to think, work, re-think, work, re-regard, work

    to accomplish such...success arrives with its` being in

    process and/ or accomplishment, I found.

    Whatever makes you happy.

    Thing about happiness is, it's hard to know because, like humour, it requires some level of surprise, but also change, life seeming anew every now and again. Paradise unchanging could be an unbearable prison. So there's no way of knowing. Happiness is about where you are headed, based on where you are. Because you are always headed somewhere, hopefully at least, then your idea of happiness will always change.

    Perhaps accepting this, how can we make this eternal striving for happiness better?

    By having loving and likeminded company.

    But in my opinion, a certain amount of money is also needed to ensure protection from mishaps, education and food and other essentials for life for you and family.

    So, money is also needed, and in terms of working, there are many jobs for everybody that everybody would love to do, so this difficulty of needing money can be a source of great happiness.

    Overall, the human mind is the source of happiness, and the tool with which to overcome obstacles to happiness. So taking care of your mind, improving and maintaining it, with proper research into diet, exercise, and then also ensuring that your are emotionally and "spiritually" fulfilled (which will be easier by feeling good physically, and vice versa) is a pre-requisite for being successful.

    In the end, being successful is discovering yourself to the best of your ability, and being loved by and loving others.

    I'm a loner though, so I wouldn't know much about that personally.

    I'd stress that education is a passport to life, and the key to growing yourself. We are like flowers that can grow ourselves. It's a pity people's blindness by life makes us forget this.

    Success to me would be that all people on Earth see and read all of my Disaster Solutions that Nature unleashes on all species on and in earth, so they can protect themselves and their countries from all of Natures Disasters. This would only be a success I would appreciate. Mike

    Success is being able to appease that aching sense of discontentment that comes and goes throughout life, without having to settle or deceive yourself into believing that it's not there.
