Sometimes the reason we fail is because we want to succeed for the wrong reason.
We want that job to prove a point to our friends who is doing pretty good.
We want that car brand because we need more attention in the neighborhood.
Our needs are driven by people’s expectations about us.
We become a slave to their desire and are caged by in the prison of their want.
Their praises are the fuel of our passion; their denials sink us in the hollows of defeats.
We heard over and over, ‘do it for me’. And that’s all we do…………we keep doing it for them.
We feel our results are judged by their approvals and our fulfillment buried in their ideologies.
We have given our dancing to the tunes of their music, musing the hymn composed by them. Yet, life seems so empty and our longings never satisfied. Money, fame, jobs, marriages gotten for the wrong reasons will make you sour; always in the search for something special.
Now you must make a choice. To crave for a success cause greater than external expectations.
To pursue a cause that is deeply rooted in your soul.
To know what you truly want and have enough courage to go after it.
To define your own success, stop doing it because they said or want it.
To do it for you.....for yourself!
To find lasting peace and fulfillment.
To live……to die.
And to leave your name on the sands of time.
