Thanks for the thoughtful post (and Rent really is an awesome musical worth seeing if you get the chance – and it has a great soundtrack).
I like your definition, and I definitely see some truth in it. Although, to me, there is also something about success that comes from satisfaction and happiness that is completely independent of anyone else in the world. For example, a beautiful flower can bring a smile to my face, or the sound of rain on the roof during a winter storm, or even cotton candy at a sporting event or carnival – it is the simple pleasures that make life worth living. And having the time and being able to be present to enough all of it.
So in the end, how do you measure success and happiness? For me it is a combination or freedom and choice. To impact people, and to do all of the other the things I want to do :)
