Ya know, take a moment to look around. Think about yourself a year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago. What were your biggest problems then? What are your biggest problems now?
My hope is that you have better problems now than you did back then. I also hope you are doing some things now that you only dreamed of back then. I hope you had the courage and opportunity to make the moves you used to be terrified of.
The thing with success, is that it's not the top of some mountain. It's this elusive thing that keeps you dreaming for more and more, because you don't just stop dreaming if you "attain" success.
"When you take a moment to accept things as they are, you don't need to hope anymore because you realize where you are is kind of okay."
I never had dreams or goals or motivation or ambition or drive or any desire to be productive. It's society constantly telling me that I should want to get off my sofa that makes me anxious. I love my sofa and i can sit here all day so i guess i'm a success.
