Trying to lead a life of success is like trying to have a best-selling novel.

It’s possible, people do it, but there are many paths, and none of them are certain.

It’s a decision tree. Are you the kind of person who thrives on having huge goals that are a decade out , or are you the kind of person who’s more successful focusing on one foot in front of the other for ten years? Either way works, but not for everyone.

Of course success is possible. But success is not an activity. What activities will help you?
