SUCCESS

Hi Guys!

I know most of you have thought about the point of living and life as a whole and we have diverse conclusions to what it all means but I wonder if we have the answers.

When I think about it, I wonder why we never get enough of anything as humans.
Lets think about it.......

Kids want to grow up to become teenagers.
Teenagers want to grow up to become adults. They yearn for independence and success in Life generally.

As adults, things get harder,
we discover that success can be success but not really success because there are different levels of success and different aspects of Life and we begin to define success as succeeding in every aspect of life.

We get educated, any kind of education that we perceive will bring us success is some aspects of life.
We get jobs and start businesses because we want to live that comfortable life or flashy life in some cases.
 Then, we realize that this job or business of ours has taken all our time....
We don't have time to enjoy the kind of life we have been working hard to enjoy and we start to worry, get depressed, sad and others, lonely!

It is time to fill that void of emptiness...
Oh! another aspect of Life pops up!
Family Life!
It is time to start a family!

We settle down and do probably the hardest thing in Life...
"Get married"!

Haa!
sometimes, to our "Soulmates, missing ribs" or whatever we call it.

I'm calling this "hard" because to some people, it is hard.

Commitments can be hard but now, we are talking about life-long commitments to someone who can be the exact opposite of oneself or alike, or different in some aspects and same in other aspects....

Some say "Love is enough" for this aspect of life, others don't agree.
People think it is possible to make mistakes and take that commitment with the wrong person.
Whoa!
That's deep!

Emotions run wild, the struggle to be who you are and who you should be for this other person.
Taking on other roles one has probably never thought of before.
The focus shifts from "ME" to "US" and later on, to "THEM".

At the end, we just can't be satisfied. we are going to want more.
yearn for more.
Fight for more.
It gets crazy, exhausting, draining on every level.

Spiritually, mentally, psychologically, emotionally, physically, socially and everything-ally.....

Then we realize that that life we have always wanted, we didn't eventually get.

Do we then say we have not succeeded?

What next?

Do we get a chance to start all over?
Some people believe in re-incarnation but, if you are coming back as someone else under different circumstances and situations, then it doesn't count as another chance!

How then do we weigh our success?

Is there a formula for that?

I just cant help but wonder!

Do we then recon it as success if we succeeded in some areas?

Does it have to be holistic before it can be called success?
What do we eventually look at and say "Oh! I actually succeeded"?


Kids?
Fame?
Love?
Money?
Family?
Friends?
Happiness?
Satisfaction?
Possessions?
Redemption?
Relationships?
Acquintances?



*phew*
This is just another thought of mine.

NB: I started this post intending to take it to a different destination but I ended up here.
Will modify the initial and post it real soon.

Wishing you all mega success in Life.

With Love
