Re: I will answer your questions about the meaning of life.
What was your reason for putting the lord before longevity and success? is it more important, or are some of those just unimportant?
The lord, in any but the most cultish of circumstances, is a reminder of something else that must be payed attention to. Something other than the self. I rate that as pretty good, but it's not normally a living practice, more of a bit of internal hygiene.
Longevity is irrelevant.
Success is the focus on the self to the exclusion of others. Some people get successful and realize this to some degree or other (Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Andrew Carnegie, Jimmy Carter), others just dwell on the self for a lifetime.
