Success is about being able to put a smile on your face every morning, knowing that everything is going to be great today. It is possible to achieve that, without doing anything or having anything to do, once you have achieved Arahantship. However, if you are still suffering like common people do, you need to have a purpose in life. The purpose of life is to live happily, so that your life is not wasted. Everybody has the potential to have a meaningful life; life is meaningless without happiness. This is important for everybody to realize, before it is to late, for his/her happiness. Some people say the purpose of life is to find your purpose yourself. I think it is more accurate to say: The purpose of life is to attain happiness; the mission of life is to find the way and walk the path yourself to achieve that purpose. It doesn’t matter whether you do something or nothing, but you definitely need to do something if you have a mission. Upon mission completion, you don’t have to do anything anymore, although you may choose to do something to help others to find their ways and walk their paths. Then, you become a Bodhisattva. You can’t say Arahant and Bodhisattva are not successful.

If you were born without hands and legs, or even bedridden and seemingly not able to do anything, can you be successful? You are not successful if you feel unhappy; but you can become successful if you find the way and walk the path in your heart. Happiness and Success
