The most important characteristic for happiness and success is knowing your mission and understanding yourself, which helps in making meaningful connections.

Being happier can actually lead to greater success, but your definition of success may evolve over time.

Happiness is being satisfied with what you have, while success often stems from dissatisfaction.

Success can mean different things to different creators, from retiring a parent to simply quitting a job, so it's important to define your own success.

The pursuit of happiness should not be tied to success; instead, focusing on being happy can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Many people sacrifice their happiness in pursuit of success, thinking that once they achieve success, they will finally be happy. However, I've found that the happier I become, the more successful I am, as happiness drives me to engage in activities that align with my strengths.

The success of entrepreneurs doesn't always have to be measured in millions; it can also be about personal happiness and fulfillment.

My definition of success has evolved; it's about who I want to become through challenges, not just the outcomes.

Success for me is having a positive impact on others, whether through business, nonprofits, or government service.
