What are your odds of living a successful life? That depends entirely on how you define success. If you grew up around money, you might stop measuring success in terms of wealth. Instead, you may start longing for what you didn’t have - emotional freedom, creative expression, deeper meaning. We’re often bound by what our families gave us - whether it’s privilege, expectations, or unspoken limits. Naturally, we seek to transcend those boundaries. That desire for freedom isn’t random; it’s an unconscious choice. An emotional calling. But those who built the world around you may resist your attempts to break free. They’ll protect the system that serves them, often to maintain a sense of superiority. In the process, you may even forget what success truly meant to you. Especially if you ignore the emotional needs your heart once tried to express. When you follow the path handed to you by society - believing that’s the success you want - you might unknowingly walk a backward path, all while thinking you're moving forward. It may look like progress from the outside, but inside, it feels hollow. And by the time you realize that, it might be too late. So, your odds of living a truly successful life? They’re low - until you pause and ask your heart what success really means to you. And once you begin to pursue that, those odds begin to rise - quietly, steadily, and powerfully.
