SUCCESS

What constitutes 

Success?

Is it financial stability?

Is it amazing digs and a nice

Car?

Is it a happy marriage?

Is it pride for our offsprings’

Achievements?

Is it reaching thousands of 

People?

Is it being remembered for

Kindness?

Or for doing great works?

Is success a feeling I’ll have one day,

In the middle of a meal with my loved ones, 

While looking out the window at the setting sun?

Or is it here, right, now?

Appreciating all of the abundance

I am already being given.

If I’ve already “made it”

What drives me to keep striving for more?

I know I no longer want to play the

Carrot on a stick game.

This horse wants to sit down,

Until she remembers that she loves to run.
