At War With Success?
As with all great stories that have been told, ours is being written and will be told and retold for centuries come. Even if whatever is happening to you, had happened and will happen, the story of that will never go away if it is written and published.
That's basically how heroes are made. We're All heroes and we all have been chivalrous at some point. We have all experienced our Own Special World's of Adventure and experienced our Quests for "that special object", even chose to undertake a series of dangerous tests on our own personal "Road of Trials".
However, in the stories, all the heroes are "Aided by magical helpers sometimes because divine plans were thwarted by spiritual enemies or enimies that we can't see. However, after every victory, the hero learns a lesson and prepared for a greater test.
Are we at war, with success like those heroes in the ancient texts? Is our story somewhat like that great hero Odessyus? He was best described as "the man with many minds, or the man with the "richly inventive mind". He was at war for decades. However, his plans were always interrupted and his life was "at the mercy of vengeful and jealous Gods".
Success for Odessyus would have been just to get home peacefully. Adventures? Yes. Adversity? Yes? Experimentations, Tests, Trials, Success, Losses, Scary? Yes. Success? Yes. Setbacks? Yes. Sacrifices? Yes. Success? Yes, Yes, Yes, Big Yes! Sounds familiar? It should? We face our Cyclops' our Dragons, our Sirens, And our vengeful Poseidons on a daily basis yet, like those hero's we survive. We Thrive. It may take 20 odd years, but it can be done! Even with Adversity!
However, in Every great story, along the journey, we are accompanied by "travelling companions". These are the ones near and dear to us now. You know who your crew is. We've got WA support.
Nevertheless, We are at war with success itself and It takes a really special type of person to be successful in life and I hate to break it to you like this but,
Not Everyone can be successful. Especially, if they're Not ready for battle or up to face the challenges. We all are experiencing the same trials. Overcoming them may take days or years. Are we strong enough? Patient enough? Worthy enough? To succeed? With or without help? Under Dyer circumstances? Well, Not so Dyer, but Dyer in today's standards.
Whatever we're doing right now, or what we have written and published. Telling the story of our fears and our longings. That's our story, so we write them well!
I'd like to know what you think. Please share your thoughts and opinions!
Have An Awesome Adventure WA!!!

Yes, we are strong and will persevere! I am in this for the long haul. It takes time and many hours just like anything else..,
Yes, Kristy, we are all up for the challenge. I think we would have fared out pretty well in almost all circumstances! :)
Our stories of past are sometimes just often to let others know a little more about us.
The stories of today should be fulfilling and positive, productive, sharing and caring and kind to others.
Be conscious and present in your day today and continue this process daily and monitor your progress and see how you have changed as a person and monitor your growth, SAY 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD.
Success shouldn't be about bank accounts but thats part of it.
FOCUS ON YOUR PERSONAL GROWTH! Be kind to yourself and to others.
When we grow, adversity and stress should just fade into the distance.

Beautiful interpretation!
Thanks for that. Addition! Should have put that in this post, but can't think of everything. Gotta leave room for the brilliance of others!

I Like comparing ancient characters from Mythological stories, to our characters today.
No matter how much we want to convince ourselves that we, people do change, that change is very, very little or can hardly be noticed until years pass.
People just don't change automatically, they have to adjust to change. But One thing, with us, (People) that stays the same, our emotions.
That something feels like a tempest or storm at times. But storms calm down. :)

Whenever you meet adversity head on you will be tested time and again, it is only when you stop meeting the adversity head on that you begin to die mentally and physically. I have learned that without adversity there can be no achievement.
