Well said my friend. Since happiness is your measure of success what would you say makes you happy (successful)?
Depends wether you mean just spur-of-the moment happiness or long-lasting happiness. Many things make me happy. But, for long-lasting happiness, one thing that springs to mind immediately is that I've always wanted to live in a place that offered me lots of personal freedom where I could pretty much do anything I wanted but not so far away from civilization that I rarely saw anyone else besides just my immediate family or I couldn't enjoy many of the advantages/benefits it offers.
I do miss the ocean sometimes so I think having a hurricane resistant place on a nice beach somewhere and a large boat (a yacht perhaps) that I can travel the ocean in, go deep-sea fishing in, and generally just relax and observe marine life would make me very happy. Of course, having lots of money would help make this particular dream a reality.
