To me success means effectiveness in the world, that i am able to carry my ideas and values into the world? that i am able to change it in positive ways

Alan Watts about journey

Success is the result of consistent and disciplined action taken over time.

The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.

The question is not, 'Can they reason?' but 'Can they suffer?'

If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.

The past has no power over the present moment.
