Gregory's Server@eloquence for my mental health I have redefined success.
Success = feeling good being myself.
It's simplistic. Feeling good =
(Apologies for the "equals"! I'm not mathematically educated. I am also writing a positive vision of the future sci-fi story, set in another planet. I am toying with "=" instead of conjugated "to be" & other symbols used in their language.)
Anyway:
Feeling good = { many things, physical & mental health, peaceful coexistence, satisfaction, love...
1/2
@eloquence 2/2
It's a reasonably useful definition of success, feeling good being myself. I'm an artist very aware of conflict between why I pursue art (emotional healing) & material success that requires marketing, sales, thinking that I find antithetical to feeling good. I consider artists who achieve worldly success, money & recognition, who died by their own hands or suffer addictions. I surely don't want that. I want to feel good. I find that incompatible with making a living.
