Difference

In life, we seek success.

Each of us chooses which standard fits our ambition best;

to gather great material wealth; obtain security, or cultivate a harvest of caring relationships.

Some seek accolades; manifestations of prowess in arena of the intellect

or vision to affect social reforms meeting the unfulfilled needs of the masses.

Then there is the never ending thirst to express beauty in art.

It matters little in the scheme of things which of these is selected,

or the myriad of other choices I've little notice of, but to another, are deemed crucial.

What matters most, in any endeavor; performed well or not, is to accept ourselves as worthy.

In that simple moment of agreement

anyone...everyone...is a success.

Don't lose sight of that...because it’s the distinctive difference between unique and special; light and dark
