What was the goal of your life? Have you reached at it ?
My personal legend has always been to become a writer. I’m glad I can say that I’m fulfilling my dream. But this must not the interpreted as “the end of the line” – on the contrary – I have to commit everyday in order to stay in this path that I’ve chosen. One is constantly challenged – even by success.

Humbling.
Thank you for the reminder.
i wanted to be good doctor, parent and good human being, my own evaluation is that i had a fair amount of success and i am grateful to God for that. In the ultimate analysis the goal of life is to acieve happiness and i had good measure of that. No regrets
It is hard to reach, harder is to have nad the hardest is to keep. Thanks to God for all He has given to us. May He give us the power to embrace all (good) we ask from Him.
The goal of my life is to be happy. Intuitively, I have always tried to do things that help me achieve this state.
I was lucky to be born into a loving family. I was lucky to make and keep great friendships. I was lucky to marry a man who is kind, hard working and very loving. I was lucky to find a career that I enjoy. I was extremely lucky to become a Mother and have 3 beautiful children.
I will always continue to reach… to me that means, being thankful for all life treasurers. Seeking insight but also understanding we are not meant to know the answers. Seeking balance. Staying inspired. Working hard. Realizing lifes connections such as the knowlege that you can’t be happy unless you respect yourself.
I loved the book, enough to inspire me to go to your website. Especially when I read of the obstacles you overcame to achieve happiness. I feel I am a strong person but I don’t think I would be here without the safe start.
This is my first ever blog.
Thank you for your gift of literature. Be happy.
While writing a post recently on success on my blog hotmiddlescence.com about how I feel unsuccessful. While writing I became aware that the lack of success I felt was ony in some parts of my life, but those areas and the feeling of not being successful dominated my life. I came to realise that there were many areas in my life that I am successful and had attained goals in. Realising that I have and can achieve, makes the potential for further success more possible, and the failure less powerful. The challenge for me is not to let the lack of success overwhelm what I have achieved.
…especially by success, because you want to keep it.
Exactly, i have been challenged by my success… it has appeared in a form of an seducer to envy those who more successful than i am and to hinder those who are walking parallel to my path of my dream. but in the end, i realized that success and failure are rocks on our path of the personal legend that test our perseverance and wellness to fulfill our dream.

Exactly, stagnant water will get bad. We have to constantly keep flowing…..
