Very wise words Vince. I think many people measure success in terms of monetary gain. To me success is measured in other ways. It's not about what you have or don't have, it's about how you feel, and am I doing things which make me feel good. YES!
I've been reflecting quite a bit lately, and oftentimes I put pressure on myself based on the opinions of others. It's time to stop that nonsense! I'm happy with my achievements, and that is all that matters. I've beaten the odds and statistics with many things in this life, and you know what? I'm very proud of myself for what I have achieved.
Thank you for your kind words and wisdom my good friend :)
Howdy Jake, Yes, you shouldn't put pressure on yourself based on the opinion of others.
We know our strength and weakness better than anyone else. We should be contented that we have done our best, and wait patiently for the results. Sometimes, it may take a bit longer for people to find us. Sometimes, we have to go back to the drawing board, and rethink our strategy. That's how we learn what works, what doesn't. That's how we improve ourselves. That's how we gain experience. That is life. 😊
Have a great weekend.
