It probably is for individuals. Some measure success with lots of money, whilst others measure it with possessions (boats, cars, house etc).

For example as long as I can have support my wife and kids without them going hungry I believe I'm successful in what I do.

It totally is. What I probably didn't make clear is that our long term approach with Nickler had me doubting what success looked like, the path, and how we defined it. I had to stop making it a tangible thing to keep from going insane.

I think I probably blast this shit out to help manage the voices, and talk my way through it, thanks for reading!
