Are you there yet?
I love Emerson's definition on succeeding in life, below.
Many points I've got covered, but - perhaps luckily - there's still lots & lots to do, experience, achieve... So many mountains left to climb♥.
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to give one's self;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm,
and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
