I've always thought the internal feeling of success is the result of attaining some kind of meaning in your work.

I would measure it by asking if I am valuable to family, to friends, to community, to animals and my natural surroundings.

Its pathetic how mentally and intellectually weak you are. I'm not sure how you ignorant white liberals have concluded you know what's best for everyone. You make people as weak as you are. You're the reason somalis were able to swindle billions of America taxpayer dollars. You people are a cancer.

I worked, first for others then myself. I built my business and ran it very successfully, then I sold it and retired at 56.

I raised my family and got them all off to a good start and still help when they need it.

I'm now 58, single, have zero debt, and goof off a lot.

Feels like success to me.
 
Among my many successes in life (as there are many), there is one that certainly stands out above all the others. That is being a pro American Conservative as I had no problem in keeping the anti American Marxist leftist ideology far from my life.

It's contentment and the lack of physical want beyond the necessities of food, shelter and safety.

The bottom two layers of Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs are physical in nature. The top three are psychological.

Agreed that attaining meaning on one's work is part of it. From experience, it seems that the first 30 years of American lives are spent "finding oneself" AKA attaining meaning in one's own life and a sense of identity.

Success to me means happiness in one's existence. Maslow described it as "Self-Actualization"

5. Self-actualization needs is the pursuit of realizing one’s full potential through personal growth, creativity, or achieving meaningful goals. Maslow described it as the desire ‘to become everything one is capable of becoming’.​

This level of need refers to what a person’s full potential is and the realization of that potential.

This need manifests uniquely in each person.

For one, it might involve becoming an ideal parent; for another, it may be fulfilled through work, artistic expression, or invention.

It reflects a commitment to authenticity and the pursuit of purpose.

Although Maslow did not believe that many of us could achieve true self-actualization, he did believe that all of us experience transitory moments (known as ‘peak experiences’) of self-actualization.

Such moments, associated with personally significant events such as childbirth, sporting achievement and examination success), are difficult to achieve and maintain consistently.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow. It organizes human needs into five levels: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Often visualized as a pyramid, this hierarchy suggests that human motivation...

yes.

its a philosophy as old as mankind.

you're in an externalized traumatized state of paucity which causes you to hate and act out.

it's an intentionally inculcated and weaponized Nazi satanic mindset.
