Relentless winds shape sand dunes. When tiny grains of sand encounter an obstacle, they build one upon the other, often rising to astounding heights. Success dances along the shifting line, delineating the dune’s windward side and its slip face. Stability on a dune is nonexistent. Gales pound the beach, driving sand, forcing it to the ridgetop where it slides or rolls down the opposite surface.
Achieving our targets are often just as elusive. We believe we are on the right path, the one guaranteed to bring us what we desire. But the terrain changes, the winds change, we change. Our goals don’t have to remain static, instead, as we evolve, they can morph and develop. The choice lies in our interpretation.
What is your definition of success?

Hmm – one person’s success is another’s failure! Success in a career might contrast with human relationships… If you pare things down most people can claim some success in life. The homeless person who has dragged himself back up feels as successful as the multi- millionaire with his empire.

I thought about your question long and hard, Jo but found no definite answer. The problem, as I see it, is they keep moving the goalposts. I’m happy to make it to the end of the week!

So you do have a goal. You want to make it to the end of the week. That is a noble goal. Don’t let them set the goalposts. I am hoping you have a glorious week, my friend. ❤
