Over my fifty-one years, I have taken on board a lot of messaging, usually from people trying to sell me shit, about “chasing my dreams” and “reaching for the stars,” and basically being as ambitious as possible. And maybe that route to that definition of success works for some people, but I can’t say that it’s really been my experience. I personally do a much better job at feeling successful by making smaller moves, and reading the organic signs that life sends my way.
