What is success?

I am competitive. I want to be successful. Prison ministry resists giving me a feeling of success, of "winning." I need a new parameter. I need to describe my reasons for doing this in terms that don't require a measurement.
Last Monday I was in North Carolina. I missed my visit to the Wyoming NY State Facility even while I was visiting my father in his retirement community. I began to compare the visit I was doing to the prison visit I was missing. Perhaps that is the beginning of my new approach to valuing the visits I make.
