About succes

I have always believed that understanding was the only way to uncover the mysteries and shadows lurking in my soul. Now, I realize I was wrong, because the only true way to our spirit is through the heart, not the mind (although, of course, it's essential to have a brain to process these thoughts). Life is a mystery that isn't meant to be understood.

We sail in little boats across the ocean, with no real idea of what’s truly happening outside. Most of the time, we feel calm because of the goals or projects that keep us going (our lighthouse guiding our fragile lives), but these are just distractions. They make us feel a little less lost, but they help us survive, not truly live. Searching for answers outside of ourselves is an error we all make at times.

And that’s why I believe Viktor Frankl underestimated the true potential of human nature. Surviving isn’t enough; we need to enjoy life to truly feel alive. The “motive” keeps us chasing something that isn’t necessarily there. Once we lose this light and drift into the darkness of the sea, we can begin our real journey.

True success is achieved when you stop searching for it. Instead, we must confront our fears and our ego. The act of lighting up the darkness isn’t the “motive”—it’s just an experience. We weren’t created to always know where or when we are meant to exist. Accepting how we appear in the darkness might be the closest we ever get to our real self. We are not our goals or our achievements.

This serves as a reminder that people are losing sight of the real meaning of life, not because they lack strength or action, but because they forget who they truly are. Never forget who you are at your core, and do whatever is necessary to remain true to yourself. We often melt into others' opinions and prejudices, ideas that were never truly ours. We adopt them in an attempt to feel accepted and loved. But remember: no one ever died from love.

Success will come when we learn to understand our differences with others and accept them. Never let those differences change you just to “fit in,” because the truth is, no one ever really fit in. We are all just a group of people trying to be accepted by others who don’t accept themselves. Do you think that’s even valid?
