“Success was something you just had to be, and I would spend myself unknowingly” John Prine
I have been thinking about success. Was does it mean to me?
When I was a chaplain I was successful because I loved what I did. I loved the title and the respect o received from people.
When I was in sales I was successful because of powerful titles and big paychecks
What do I consider success at this point in life? Internally, what would make me feel pride? Accomplishment? Happiness? All I can think is being validated by money. Success is making more money than I did the previous year. But that doesn’t speak to what I felt when I thought I saw the WIL. What made me feel self conscious? Unworthy? What would make me feel worthy?
