Old Definition:

Success is dependent on others, on external factors, on money and recognition.

New Definition:

Success is an ongoing adventure in your field of passion. It's a never-ending exploration of what works for you and what doesn't. You'll be going up a majestic mountain one day and exploring a shadowy ravine the next. It always changes because we continually evolve.

The fact that there could be financial rewards to this adventure is a bonus. The fact that someone could admire your art form is nice, but in the end, it is a journey for the Self currated by the Self.
