GOAL: HEAL

What is true success? Hint: It's not happiness.

True success is internal peace. 🕊️

True success is when that nasty voice in your head finally shuts up. It's when you don't dread the nights before a workday. It's when the apartment can look like a mess, dishes piled in the sink, floors dirty, fridge empty - and you DON'T have a breakdown.

True success is seeing someone you like at work, and being able to talk to them without feeling too self-conscious. It's being able to stop and take a breath after someone says something stupid, then reply in a calm, even tone.

True success is being confident enough to fulfill your promises to yourself, whether it's your exercise goals, or your eating habits, or saying "no" (or "yes") to your friends more.

True success is when you have faith in the future, even if the present feels bleak. It's when you are resilient enough to look ahead with a sigh of resignation and think, "It's fine, I'll make it work somehow."

If you find your inner peace, you will be more successful than all the athletes, influencers, movie stars, CEOs, politicians, and millionaires.

So if there's anything you should aim for in this short time that you're alive, it's finding out what peace feels like to you.
