Not everyone climbs Mount Everest.
Not everyone walks on the moon.
Not everyone wins an Oscar.
Not everyone builds a Taj Mahal.
You hold a dictionary
Above your head with
Definitions of “success”,
And if you let it
The weight will
Pin you down,
But
If instead, you lower it
And stand upon the volume
Your vantage point
Is higher, and as
You look down at the dictionary,
You see how small those successes are
In a world of mountains,
Moons, and palaces.
You don’t have to
Go by the book, you know.
You may write on a napkin,
“I got up today.”
And that, my friend, is a success.
