I watch my kids struggle with idea of success and I always tell them, "You have people in your life who love you, you have friends you can count on, your bills are paid, you have a full belly and at night you get to lay down in a nice, comfy bed, that's it.. The in between stuff, is just stuff. Be kind, do what you know is true and correct, and go to sleep at night with a clear mind and a loving heart.."

I suppose if I had gone into a field using my Finance degree, I could have been much more 'successful' in the eyes of the world. But it's the eyes of my friends and my family (especially) that matter to me. And there are some of my in-laws (not all by any means) who look down on us a little because we our house is smallish and older, and/or because we don't have lives full of executive salaries and stress, but that just doesn't matter to me.
