Is How You Define Success Different Today Than It Was When You Were Younger?

Yes. I never really defined it (success) when I was young. I just followed the bouncing ball through school and afterwards and went where it looked interesting and things fell my way. Like the next step was waiting for me as I moved from one adventure to the next.

Then things changed when I was 40. Tragedy, misfortune and I had to pause to help pick up the pieces and my focus was on healing and tending to the family and I defined success in my mind for the first time. Rallying the family back to life.

Now, 40 years later again, success is about navigating the family through end of life. So everyone can sustain happiness to the end.
