That might be true, but it doesn't really matter, because the purpose of success isn't to make you happy, any more than the purpose of happiness is to make you successful. Two different things.

If your goal is to be happy, then the easiest way to do this is simply to be happy. Being happy is really much easier than everyone makes it out to be. It doesn't require any change in your finances, health, or relationships (although those things can certainly help). It's just an emotion that you can choose to experience.

Then maybe you are successful. If not in the traditional sense, then perhaps in the way that matters to you.
