Be Careful What You Wish For.

"The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms" ~ Socrates

It's pretty much a given that most people want Love, Happiness and Success...those are pretty universal themes. These are great things to strive for... I think the problem with their pursuit is that most people don't spend a lot of time actually defining what those things mean for themselves on a personal level. I think we all have a very broad idea of what each of those terms mean... but is that what we really want? A generic version of happiness? Someone else's idea of Love? Whose version of success are you trying to achieve?
Spend some time with yourself and start figuring out exactly what those things mean to YOU. Start writing down YOUR definitions of love, happiness and success. Chasing someone else's dream is not going to make YOU happy... in fact I would venture to say that not only will it not lead to your own fulfillment, you will actually be starting on a journey down a road leading you in the exact OPPOSITE direction of what YOU truly want deep down.
The questions we ask ourselves, determine the type of people that we become.
