Somehow we learned to link
self-worth to our performances,
our competence, the way we think,
results, money or conformance.
I guess, in some ways, I reached
what I learned to expect,
I ran my marathon.
There are no medals, there is no
glowing warmth inside.
Maybe those achievements
were just another way to hide.

Flawless and specific goals might not help as much as I thought.
Don't blame others for being spoiled
take action to reduce the negative consequences.
Acceptance will follow actions.
