I’ve always heard this term
but didn’t put much thought into it
but after recent introspection
i’ve started to wonder if my ‘measuring” metric is off

For whatever reason
I’ve always felt the need
to accomplish or achieve ‘success’
at whatever I’m doing

I look at others
whom seem very happy
just living

all they seem to require
is for life to be good

good food
a good song, a good book, a good movie
Good company
whether it’s family, friends, pets
and it doesn’t even have to be all of the above

it’s possible they want more
but they seem good with just
Life being good

I wish I could be like that

It’s seems my contentness
Is dependent on what I accomplished or achieved
on this day

which is very easy to measure

I either achieved or accomplished it
or I didn’t

and I often didn’t

And even if there was some progress made
it’s hard, for me, to be good with that

this is what I try to come to terms with

daily

Which makes it sound like I don’t think my life is good
but I do

I know that am so blessed

But I have somehow made the accomplishment or achievement of success
the metric which is my ‘measure of success’

I don’t even feel like I was successful explaining that.
