100% upvote just for that.
You are saying that success causes people to be people that they are not. I think that is correct when they work for a boss, however, It is wrong when they have their own business.
Every successful person that I know online is very polarizing, they are all unique and authentic.
If you are somewhere in the middle you are, frankly said, BORING.
That is why people write about me here, some really hate me, some like me and that is good.
My opinion is the same as the one of @hackerwhacker with a bonus. If you do what you like and get paid for it AND become financially independent then you are successful.
And about your taking care of the kids statement -> Show how you take care of them, educate and play with them.
I bet many hearts will melt and upvote you -> it also shows that you are a confident father.
I was saying that many people feel bad when they try to live up to other people's definition of success and are not living that way. It can cause people to feel insecure about their own lives.
