Two excellent points. ...because you want to do it. ...because you want to be good at it. ...because you are good at it. 

And woohoo for celebrating little victories! What fun would life be if you only got to celebrate the big stuff? 

To answer the OP's question: Success is participating in any life endeavor with such skill and enthusiasm that others want to participate with you. On top of that, enough play money to support a few great hobbies, and there you have it: Success.

Great thread! 

Horse veterinarian. Much like @Jerry W., I long ago figured out that horses don't exactly make money. Regardless, I picked the right career and love most minutes of it. 

So, on to other ways to produce income. Somehow I lucked out enough to stumble onto BiggerPockets and have learned huge amounts already.
