Success? Is That Like A Unicorn?

12 days ago success was like a Unicorn; an elusive, mythical creature.

The pictures painted by people claiming to have seen & touched it were magnificent & beautiful. Colorful & vibrant. Surreal. I wanted it. I dreamed about it. And when I was awake, I daydreamed about it.

People have been selling the "secrets" to success since the beginning of time.

Within my first hours at WA, I realized I had found one.

Today I got my first little taste of success; a tiny spark, but a spark, nonetheless.

When you succeed at bringing forth fire, you don't focus or fret on the size of the first little embers that started it all.

You say, "EUREKA!" as those little sparks take hold & glow, consuming the fuel you've gathered there, feeding on the efforts you put forth to gather the proper kindling.

You did it! You did it.

But don't shake your fist just yet. There is much work to do.

Anyone who's ever built a fire knows, it can go up in a puff of smoke just as quickly as it came. Don't stomp out your tiny fire with a premature victory dance.

Nurture it.

Fan the flames.

And keep on gathering wood.
