I think that in 2020 I’ve redefined the meaning of “success”. Let of a state of being, but more of a modus operandi. I think I used to see success as a point you reach, like following a map or nav, and once you are there, you are there. But I’ve realized that this doesn’t paint the complete picture. It leaves out all of the hard work, the little victories, the vast setbacks. It’s like buying a whole book only to read the final page.
