From the Inspirational Thought Unit
The success you have in life is all relative. I've met a millionaire who felt unaccomplished, and knew a guy who was able to get job at U-Haul installing hitches and thought he won the life lottery. I think to feel satisfied in life you gotta stop looking outward for validation, but instead look in the mirror for it.
I like novelist Toni Morrison's thought on the measure of success:
"For me, success is not a public thing. It's a private thing. It's when you have fewer and fewer regrets."

That might be the key there. Before you take on any project, or invest tome and energy into something, ask yourself, "will this lead to less regret in life, or more?"
