"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally."
British Journalist, Writer
1939 -
There is a paradox here. If you seek success, you rarely find it. If you do what you love, you will be successful even if it is not in the way that you imagined it. As I grow older, I begin to define success less as money and fame and more as loving relationships. The same is true of my artistic work. It becomes less about the money and fame, then it is about the process of creating.
What is your passion? What is your love? Are you following your passion? Are you doing what you love even if it is for only five minutes a day. I dreamed for years of writing full time, but it was not to be. But I have spent lots of hours writing. The value is in the writing, the creating, not in doing it full time. I challenge you to find 15 minutes every day to do what you love. Don't wait until you can do it full time because it might never happen. Do it now and success will follow. Just be ready for the unexpected. If life throws you a wrench when you are making other plans, just tighten the bolts and keep going.
