figuremeout,

personally i think success is a subjective matter.

Bingo.  You got IT.

The MOST IMPORTANT person is YOU.  Aka, YOUR own POV of what is successful to YOU. Why?? Because that is RELEVANT to YOU.  Anyone else's POV is IRRELEVANT.

Plus, a person cannot be HAPPY by trying to satisfy OTHER PEOPLE's POV and GOAL.  YOU will be living their lives and their goal.

YOU need to live your own life.  Not anyone's else life.
