Our entire life is spent chasing success, accolades and excellence, from kindergarten upwards the entire system is wired to reward success (be it higher grades, gold medals, achieving targets or meeting deadlines) and looking down upon whatever is outside this definition(of success).

We are coerced to believe that the most important ingredients for a fulfilling life, a successful career and joyful relationships lie somewhere outside ourselves in the form of a skill set, knowledge, certification, activity or behavioural modification. Hence we never bother to have a date with the most important person in our lives … “our self”
