Success?

Who defines it? Are we allowed to define our own? Or is it defined for us? And what is the connection (if any) between success and happiness? Does success have anything to do with meaning? Purpose?

All good questions that I don’t have answers to. Maybe if I did I could “become” successful selling those answers to other people. I put the word “become” in quotes because I don’t know if you can “become” successful. Is it something you just are? Or is it something you work towards? And related to that – can you lose your “successfulness”? Or just the trappings of success?
