THE FALLACY OF ACHIEVEMENT

"I couldn't wait for success... so I went ahead without it."
~ Jonathan Winters ~

Growing up, and throughout my young adult years, 
I became progressively driven to achieve what I perceived as success. 
And, at the same time, 
I also felt the urge to seek and find enlightenment as the highest of all human achievements. 
And now, 
I see that there's nothing to achieve, 
not really, 
and that achievement itself as a way to complete our fulfillment, 
is a mirage. 
There is only something to discover, and that has been there all along, 
in all of us. 
It's freedom.
It's whole.
It's divine.
And we are it.

I can play at achieving things in the world, but they do not define or create me. 
As I am already, I am perfect and complete.
