"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.
