The most important suggestion I have is to define success for yourself. Let others decide for themselves but not for you.
Bonus tip: as life and circumstances change, it is okay to change your definition. You’ve changed, so your aspirations will as well.
My definition of success focuses more on inner peace, love for all life on this planet, and forgiveness (of myself and others). And as long as I’m focused on these goals, I feel successful.
Minor success: with help from family, I have all the plants in my water garden. Now it can cycle before I put in fish.
