Defining success


Success is likened to a big Ferrari and a house in the Bahamas overlooking the sea for the rich and elite.It is that new closed deal after which one manufacturing company will acquire the assets of another .It is that admit into Stanford or Yale.It is that private equity job someone landed at KKR.It is those new Cartier watches and that ride on the Lambourghini.

It is two square meals in sub-saharan Africa.It is a pitcher of clean drinking water.It is admit to a school in war torn Syria.It is a night of peace without any bomb going off during war.

It is that successful zazen you conducted with the team at the dhamma centre.It is mindfulness and peace.It is yoga and green tea without any stress.It is that trip to the Himalayas wherein you don’t have cell phone network and hence loads of tranquility.

Success means different things to different people depending upon where they’re at in life.

Determine what it means for you and then chase it relentlessly.

There is no quitting, only pitstops .

  Characteristics of   trauma bonded relationships: A constant pattern of non-performance — your partner promises you things, but keeps behaving to the contrary. Others are disturbed by something that is said or done to you in your relationship, but you brush it off. You feel stuck in the relationship because you see no way out.
