Your success is solely and utterly based on your happiness, content, fulfillment, and peace. If you accept any other definition that this world has to offer, then it'll only lead you down a bunch of broken roads; leaving your heart completely malnourished. The idea of success became this much of an egoistic competition from judgemental comparisons through jealousies, rather than acceptances with life and cherishing the present as a gift; since tomorrow is NEVER promised. Greed breeds greed and violence upon violence, making the actual definition of pure love absolutely scarce. Not only is there a thin fine line between confidence and arrogance, but another one between optimism and naivety as well; where only good beings learn from their mistakes. Striving for improvements with consistency, instead of being stuck in a hamster wheel and repetitively searching for deceptive perfection. The greatest (most humane) are truly born suffering, learning what toxicities to avoid while only wanting to experience a healthier lifestyle. As opposed to those who are born spoiled, developing a selfish mindset of more, more, and more. Even if we only catch glimpses of it by surprise, we will always be oblivious to the amount of power karma holds. That's why it's advised to treat others how you would like to be treated, and not let others' opinions depict your reality; as the only choices you're able to choose in life are your own. You must fully love yourself before you can officially love anything else, so don't be afraid to treat yourself like you'd treat your best friend. We were all born differently, as everything happens for a reason; to fuel the balance that stabilizes a constantly expanding universe.
