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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For whatever reason
I’ve always felt the need
to accomplish or achieve ‘success’
at whatever I’m doing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I look at others
whom seem very happy
just living <\/p>\n\n\n\n
all they seem to require
is for life to be good<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it’s possible they want more
but they seem good with just
Life being good<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish I could be like that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s seems my contentness
Is dependent on what I accomplished or achieved
on this day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
which is very easy to measure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I either achieved or accomplished it
or I didn’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and I often didn’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even if there was some progress made
it’s hard, for me, to be good with that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this is what I try to come to terms with<\/p>\n\n\n\n
daily<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which makes it sound like I don’t think my life is good
but I do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that am so blessed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I have somehow made the accomplishment or achievement of success
the metric which is my ‘measure of success’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t even feel like I was successful explaining that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
