Redefining Success

Redefining Success

Definition: Living, with expansive awareness

It is not individual; it is organic

Succeeding: Being-there, presence in community, ecological, relational

Failure? Reactively amassing commodities, experiences, achievements — perfect building blocks for a fortress which permits no visitors and blocks all light

Success: commodities, experiences, and achievements, brought into the World, to be composted, for nourishment, so we can see what grows, what wishes to be released, what wishes to be witnessed

Success: doing that witnessing — you are Alive

Do you smell the wet earth, and the roots sinking in?

Have you taken account? You too are taking root, living in soil, growing

Success is non-center, here and now, inclusive of pasts and open to futures
