The answer is: both. They are inseparable parts. You cannot be successful if you have just one part; you need to posses both. To be and feel successful, and I believe happy as well, you need the same feelings from both sides of your personality. What is inside you should mirror what is outside of you. If you do not feel successful and happy inside, you cannot be successful in the outside world. If you just act as that successful person, that is better than just feeling unhappy, but this is still not full success.
Now you know it is possible to be a great achiever – having external success — and still not feel like a successful person. What is missing is internal success. You need to accept, feel and believe you are successful. To fulfil your life, you need to feel basically the same externally and internally.
What I am telling you about you is not so important compared to what you say to yourself. As we know, we have celebrities who do not feel internally satisfied, despite a huge external popularity and success. How you feel inside is crucial for everything in your life because everything starts and finishes with you. What you see, feel, accept, and understand internally/externally is an important part of your personality.
To feel and act successful, you need feelings of internal control of your life. Unfortunately, when fear is part of your life, which is the case in people with general anxiety disorder (GAD), you do not feel in control of your life. Anxiety is all about fears, worries and control. When you do not feel in control, then there is little chance that you feel happy and successful. In other words, if you feel in control of your life, you will be satisfied with yourself and consequently happy and successful.
Just to clarify something: I am not saying that people with GAD cannot be successful or happy; I am just saying that because of a huge internal fear (anxiety), these people will feel less in control of their life. With less control in life comes a smaller chance of being successful or happy. Internally they feel fear, and externally life does not look so bright to them. When people with anxiety overcome their internal fears, they will gain internal control and the result will be a happy and successful life.

Society continues to ask where an individual's happiness and unhappiness derives from. Many can say it depends on the lifestyle you live and your living environment. However, true happiness comes from the internal factors within an individual. Many times individuals afflict the feeling of unhappiness onto themselves with their own personal outlook on their lives. All individuals are responsible of their happiness and with that “we have become unfamiliar with how to make ourselves happy. When we come back to the idea that we make ourselves happy it may seem foreign.” (Happiness In Relationships).
Happiness and Unhappiness first derive from the mind and are mostly triggered from the effects of external factors. Many individuals who face unhappy relationships or unhappy lifestyles are usually afflicting the pain of feeling unhappy onto themselves. These unconscious fears are the true factors of what determine the happiness within an individual. For example, made believe feelings of loneliness can be a significant fear that the mind can digest making an individual believe that they are unhappy. When truly they themselves have created this feeling of being alone from getting out of a difficult situation. “Then its time to get on with the real work, finding and changing false beliefs that we use as an excuse to not express our love.” (Are you Trapped and Unhappy in Your Relationship?) Therefore the mind creates this false belief of not “expressing their love” or in other words not being happy. The mind also affects happiness by “The feeling of suffocation or of having no choices stems from fear that’s often unconscious.” (Are you Trapped and Unhappy in Your Relationship?) This is often seemed as an outside factor however it is truly our mind alone making this choice from the fears that we stimulate. Therefore mostly are fears within our mind causes our belief of whether we our happy or not. Especially with relationships “Our mind associates this person leaving us with unhappiness, sadness, anger, and loneliness.” (Happiness In Relationships) Therefore this unhappiness is created deep within our mind creating our unhappiness.
In the novel Ethan Frome most of Ethan’s happiness and unhappiness is from his persona outtake of his life. These emotions Ethan feels are mostly created by himself. whether it seems the feelings he experiences are from external factors the feelings are actually what he has created. He mostly does this with the relationships he has with Mattie and Zeena. Unclear about their behavior he creates this feeling of unhappiness and happiness within himself. “Now he thought she understood him, and feared; now he was sure she did no, and despaired.” (Pg 42) Ethan over thinks and creates this feeling of despair within himself without even knowing whether or not Mattie understood him. This therefore changes his happiness. Ethan also changes his happiness by making himself happy. For example, in the plot Ethan is filled with joy at the thought of Zeena leaving. "The sweetness of the picture, and the relief of knowing that his fears of "trouble" with Zeena were "unfounded"." (pg 60) Therefore these feelings of "trouble" that he "unfounded" are actually what Ethan have came up within himself. If Ethan were to change his view on his relationship with Zeena and changed his perspective then perhaps he would be happy even when Zeena is there. Another example where Ethan determines his happiness is when spots the new found couple under the same spot he and mattie were the night before. Delighted in seeing their presence and his view of the relationship as sweet but not moments after “...he felt a pang of the thought that these two need not hide their happiness”. (pg 69) This is evidence that Ethan through his first perspective was happy about their relationship but after his subconsciousness made him feel as if he had to hide the love he has for Mattie. It is inevitable that the choices that Ethan makes are influenced by outside factors but however Ethan is truly the one who decides his happiness. That his happiness is determined within not on outside factors.
