Why chase success?
I once believed that success is the main guideline. I set goals, achieved them, but the joy from this quickly passed. Each new victory required even more, and I felt like a squirrel in a wheel. Then I asked myself: What is all this for? What will remain after me if I remove all the external attributes of success?
The meaning of life is in small joys. I began to look for meaning in simple things. In the smile of loved ones, in the morning sun, in warm tea and long conversations with friends. I realized that happiness is not a destination, but the journey itself. These are the moments when you help others, when you create something important, when you simply live sincerely.
With love, Maria.
