One more reason to Love Friedrich Nietche is his quote Success has always been a great liar.this quote made me think especially that i have tasted the peak of success and the low of failure. the first thing that came to my mind the name of a paulo coelho book which is the winner stands alone. when aiming to succeed you aim to be happy . for me i always imagine life as a better place if i succeeded. ill look thinner, ill dress more stylish , people will like me, ill inspire people and most importantly i will be someone who i can look up to. these are the things that will lead to happiness. mostly you work so hard, you ignore other things in your life and you find yourself only working for success. let's not get into the whole balance thing. cause happiness is what you want you have to give it all what you got. success tastes good and you are craving it. enemies of success are to be ignored or maybe go with the strategy of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. the whole point is success is always blinding where you are pusiting it you never think back. let's face the truth b2a. no success doesn't mean happiness. no you will not look better, feel better about yourself or gain the people true love with only success. you might gain the people attention and they might come around you to befriend you. however this is not love. Success is just success, excelling in a certain field and whoever does it should be proud of it . that's it nothing more nothing less . Most probably if you succeed some people will be jealous and start trying to destroy you and your success. these people are blinded by success as well, they can't accept that they can see happiness in other people's life when they can't have it. This race for happiness is what the race for number one is all about. nothing personal is one of the biggest lies ever, it's always personal if it's about me it's personal. you want to win. you hate to lose. but remember the winner is on top and on top there is no room for everybody, maybe even for you, ya3ni not only you will win alone you will also have to scarifies things and people on your way to be there. always be nice to people on your way up cause most probably you will meet them on your way down, and YES you will go down eventually. you succeed it's good. when you fail don't kill yourself cause probably this is better for your learning about yourself and people around you. when i was at the peak of my success problems faced were never a cause of sadness, challenges always keep me alive. however there was this thing where why am i not the person i imagine i would've been? i am successful but i don't look successful i am not happy. then i started doubting myself as usually it's my perception of myself is wrong, at first i tries to put the image of the successful person and smile pretending to be happy but soon i woke up from the drug of success and i realized i am not happy because i am not accepting who i am even when i am succeeding i am still doubting myself not success. yeah sure we are always oaky with who we are but think about it if you are okay with yourself why are you not happy. Accepting that you can fail and still be happy is the best thing you can do for yourself. This means that you are accepting yourself doesn't mean you shouldn't evolve. No you should always be the version of yourself that is making you happy and comfortable. you will not become someone else just an evolved version of you after learning and experience. if you are looking for happiness look for acceptance and don't let success convince you with it's lies.
