I have been defining success for the past 20 years as how much money you can make, and what kind of status you can achieve. In other words, I thought success was material. I have shifted my thinking recently to include personal life and peace of mind in my definition of success. I think someone who is centered and comfortable in their own shoes has achieved success. Why do people try to impress others through material success? This can lead to mental health challenges if the individual pushes too hard.
I am happy as long as I'm comfortable in my life, and that may mean not doing all that much. I am in the position where I can relax for as much as I want, and as I work through some of these issues, I can focus on my personal well-being. I do not want to be hard on myself and wish I had "achieved" more. Being at easy is what it's all about.
