…Yet.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw a person of weakness and a lack of discipline.

I wasn’t successful. Yet.

When I worked out, it was for my looks, not for my health or well-being.

I wasn’t successful. Yet.

When I was around the people from the past, I was anxious and on guard.

I wasn’t successful there.

But I knew that I could be, if I just cut the invisible cord to the life I was in and the connection it had to my heart.

I wasn’t successful in a life that gave me no purpose or peace.

How did I know it was time to find my success? When I was tired of feeling useless, lazy, and unwanted.

I knew my potential was so much more grand than what I was living. I knew I had the power to create a life of beauty, safety, kindness, discipline.

That was the first step to my success.

How do you know you’re successful? What leads you to the path of success?

Is it your looks? How you take care of your body? What you put in your body?

Is it your job? How much money you make? The time spent there?

Is it discipline?
