Eh?
How are you judging success at life itself? A successful career? Material wealth? Healthy relationships? Being a respected and admired person in your family, workplace and community? Having lots of friends? Having various skills or talents? Being the most well adjusted and well rounded person that you possibly can be, so as to have the perfect balance of all of the above to best fit your own personality and circumstances?
Is there one objective measure of all of this? Many people can seem to have everything, on the surface, they may have all of the above things I have listed going for them, but may still feel deeply unhappy and discontented in life.
Other people that may have none of the above, may be adjusted to all of these apparent lacks with perfect contentedness.
So is contentedness the real measure of success in life? I don't think that it can be.
