Did You Survive Your Life?

I have always considered the questions "Are you successful?" or "Were you successful?" as really stupid questions because some of the most "successful" people I have met are also the most miserable and unhappy because they gave up all relationships of meaning to become successful and then they mostly are now going to die alone.

So, my question is: "Did you survive your life?" In other words, "Did you do what made you happy?" "Did you find people to love and to love you?" "Did you make them happy and go and visit beautiful places with them?" "Did you make enough money to do all these things and now have wonderful memories that you shared with those you love or loved?" If the answer is "YES!" to these questions then not only did you survive your life, you are also a worthwhile human being, and to me that is really being successful because you survived your life.
