If you are perpetually seeking and not obtaining, so to speak, then you're going to be dissatisfied more often than not. And I suppose some level of contentness or well-being relates to where you draw that line on that spectrum. So if a person hanging out on the beach in Sicily is just happy with their life and that's a success, then who cares that the people in Singapore are making more money? By that person's measure, they are successful because they're proud of their life and what they're doing.
