There are lessons to be learned each and every day. Failure is as important as success, as we learn from both. Parents, teachers, and family share knowledge and provide support. We make mistakes, become overwhelmed, get confused, say or do things that we later regret, sometimes hurting others or ourselves in the process.
We don't own anything. According to an American Indian proverb, "We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." We are stewards of everything. We came into this earth owning nothing, and we will leave it in the same way.
Is success being rich, having status, gaining possessions, that certain job, providing influence? Some people are happy with achievement, losta stuff surrounding us, being somebody rich and famous, being really busy; others are not. Both are successful if they are happy with what they have. We have tools and resources available to us, and the choice is ours to use them or not.
Life is spectacular, amazing, and difficult. What we make of our life is, of course, up to us.
