Success Redefined

Life’s scoreboard is not numerical.

Nor is it based on universal truths;

but rather, individual worldviews.

Customized to represent

what one holds nearest to their heart,

and yearns to become true.

And mine has one metric reigning far superior-

Uncaused Happiness.

A measure culminating in what I value most-

No attachment to externals,

Tranquility internal,

And a spirit so resilient,

that no thunder from the universe

can disrupt a daily smile.
