I agree - I also think successful people see things from a positive viewpoint, and are happy with their lives. For example, someone who has tons of money, but needs weekly therapy because they feel unfulfilled wouldn't be someone I'd call successful. But someone who is living paycheck-to-paycheck, and tackles each obstacle with the attitude of, "I can make it through this" with a smile on their face is definitely a success. Excellent freewrite, @iamjadeline!
