Generally, I am content and at peace, most of the time. I got here because I looked inward to figure out my passions and sense of purpose. I’ve been content especially since I published a book, but I wouldn’t say I’m happy. I struggle with depression and get easily discouraged. My book is not a big hit. I am horrible at self promotion and it may be out there but it’s not seen. Finishing a book was a life long dream. I should be ecstatic I did it, but I have these old ideas about value: my elders telling me I’m not a success unless I’m a best seller. Given my shyness, becoming a best seller is a tall order. These unrealistic expectations drive me out of my content. I drive my wife crazy because she’s proud of my accomplishment. Sometimes I hold my book to remind myself that completing a goal is success.
