The Broken Successfuls

It is very wrong to get all the affluence and influence and still feel lost at the end of the day.
You see, my birthday is in three days, I don't feel the bubbles. I practically told myself…don't you think you really should be specially excited? But, the fact is, I've learnt over the past few months to be excited,to stay excited.
I chose to be deliberately happy and make everyday a special day. To me birthdays shouldn’t be the only day to be extremely happy…you should be happy everyday. If you ask me, I will say…your birthday should be a day of reflection, a day to give an inventory on how far you have come and how well you are doing. (How well shouldn’t be mistaken for how much, it is how great you feel inside).
I once came across an interview Micheal Jackson the popular pop star had with Oprah, where he said the only time he feels a little bit alive was whenever he is on stage and that he always felt very lonely…you can see from his last interviews before he died that he was successful but broken. It is however sad that we have accepted this as a way of life, but I stand to correct you that you can be successful and fulfilled at the same time.
One of the major reasons we feel lost is because society already has its own definition of success which you must follow to be termed successful but success has and will always be individualistic.
It is difficult to work on your own success road map but more difficult to live up to people's definition of success, which is why you must determine today who you must serve first… YOU OR PEOPLE? If you serve yourself first, I bet you will gain all you need to serve the people, if you serve people first, you will lose yourself and then lose the people but losing people is not as important as losing self right or well, what do I know?

I don’t know much but I know I will choose myself over them because the wanting never ends and choosing to serve myself is contentment and the most powerful weapon needed to live your best self here.
Until you receive my next letter to you, cheers!

2 年I love your authenticity, your vulnerability and your truth - you articulate YOU and your thoughts so beautifully. The collective has trained us so well - to be living under the cloud of lack, scarcity, fear, worry and doubt and yet if we were to lean more into our BEING , our truth and power we would know that our soul's have the perfect strategy for us - it allows us to serve ourselves and others in the greatness of who we truly BE!
