Eric, I like what another smart Eric -- Eric Barker, says in his great book "Barking Up The Wrong Tree":

"We get hung up on the heights of success we see in the media and forget that it's our personal definition of success that matters...Financial success is great, but to have a successful life we need happiness. Career success doesn't always make us happy, but the research shows that happiness does bring success...Your relationships are what bring you happiness."

Blessings,

George
