The mere act of living a Creative Life with the freedom and joy to make your Art, whatever that may be, that is what success is to me. with every step i take on my own creative journey, with every piece i sell, with every gallery that will represent me....there is always more to work towards and more to dream for. Isn't that what we do best? Dream? i fear as soon as we stop dreaming we stop living. xo WOW..i feel like you were speaking directly to me.

I don't care. This is a really great post for those of us who struggle with 'making it'. I should be struggling to make ends meet, but - I'm not. Primarily because I'm doing what I want to do, and I don't care about the struggle any more. You're the wordsmith, not me! Don’t ask how I got here – perhaps via Seth? I don’t care.

I love that our dreams and goals grow with us so we never just sit back and think, 'Wow, I've done everything there is to do.' That would be no fun at all:-)I hope I never 'make it', I'm just so thankful to be on the journey! You said this so well.

As we continue to evolve and grow and change- hopefully we set new goals for ourselves to meet. It is important- as best we can- that we enjoy the journey. Sometimes, goals aren't attainable for different reasons- and in these cases, flexibility and new dreams need to be created. Where ever you travel in life or what you attain- hopefully you are doing something that you love! Thanks for these thoughtful reflections on "making it".

I'm so busy chasing after the "I've made it" post that I'm forgetting about the journey and to say "hey, that was pretty cool". Thanks for giving me a pause for thought and a smile:) This post really hit home for me.
