From Really Far Away To Virtually Here And Now

But It’s Probably Not A Complete Success Just Yet

It’s a general understanding that “success” presents itself to many people in a ton of varying perceptional degrees. And while it’s true these perceptions are frequently our internal assessment of achievements, it’s also true a lot of us have our opinions of the success or failure of those around us.

Although we’re cautioned against it, we all, at times, have fallen prey to the comparison game. We see someone struggling in our own field of specialty, and although we want to feel bad, we breathe a sigh of relief we’re not fighting the same beasts.

There, but for the grace of God go I.

On the other side of the coin, sometimes we stack our list of achievements up against the latest viral superstar in our field, feeling an envious monster growing in our heads, wondering why we aren’t doing as well as they are.

This happens to be Human nature at one of its least fine moments.

I’m not recommending we should take either approach. Focusing on the success or the failures of others pulls you away from your actual area of concentration. This happens to be Human nature at one of its least fine moments. Whether or not others reach the pinnacle of success or fall flat on their butts has no effect on your own efforts.

Instead, have genuine feelings of empathy for them and offer help if your fellow writers ask for it and sometimes even when they don’t. Offer honest praise and acknowledgement for all their milestone achievements and successes.

If you want to get where these writing superstars are, then adopt a goal you think will get you there and go for it. Don’t sit on the sidelines, grumbling about their success. Create some of your own.

Your perception of success can be as far away or as close as you choose to make it.

To this day, I remember dreaming of “success” as a writer way back when. Although the visualization was murky, not really taking solid shape or form. I didn’t really have a plan back then. All I had was a warm, fuzzy feelgood dream. A dream which prompted the action to write novels.

As a young child, and later as an immature adult, my success as a novelist seemed really far away.

Here’s how. Remember that murky feelgood dream of mine? Yeah, it was to publish a book, to be a novelist. Somehow, I managed to convince myself that it would be the fruition of my big dream. As a young child, and later as an immature adult, my success as a novelist seemed really far away.

But I told myself all I had to do was write one, just one book and get it published and viola, there I would be, king of the world as Jack proclaimed aboard the Titanic.

Well, we all know how that turned out, don’t we?

Although I’d set my sights on something I felt would make me a success, achieving it had nothing and yet everything to do with the success I finally gained.

My perception of success, although partial, has been a long time coming for me. As it turns out, the novels (three of them) were merely a byproduct of the success I should have been focusing on, the one I have finally achieved of late.

Instead of dreaming about being a novelist, I should have dreamed about becoming a writer.

After all these years, I’ve achieved the success I never really dreamed about.

I. Am. A.Writer.

It’s funny how that turned out, even funnier when I stop to think just how far I’ve made it down this eternal journey. Although I’d set my sights on something I felt would make me a success, achieving it had nothing and yet everything to do with the success I finally gained.

Nowadays, when I sit down to talk to you folks, there’s usually a bit of a smile on my face that comes from an understanding, a personal acknowledgement I’ve achieved a modicum of success as a writer.

I’m certain I’m not where I wish to be, but then I’m a thousand percent sure I don’t know what the destination of “be” is.

I’m pretty sure I’m not a complete success just yet, and you all may be thinking the same thing. We all may not be where we wish to be, but then I’m pretty sure we don’t have our brains wrapped around where the final destination of that “be” truly is. If you’re like me, then great. It means just like me, you’ll be writing for a while.

I’m really looking forward to reading your work.
