I think that point is hard to remember in a capitalist dog eat dog society, where status equals winning. If you aren’t raised with those values it usually take something eye opening to shift your perception.

I am always this way with my own essay writing. Just the fact of writing something I think is good is enough for me most of the time.

That’s what I keep telling myself as I work on my webcomic. I make the comic that I want to read and enjoy because it’s about the joy of creation.

I am learning this, this very week. While I was writing my book, I hoped it would be a success and make money (and of course, I still hope that!) But when I finally hit publish on that book, it was such a wonderful feeling knowing that I finally did it, especially after such a long time, that I’m ok just knowing that it’s out there. Success or failure of the book can’t take away the feeling of joy at having published it in the first place.

You are exactly right: the journey.

I think we can all get a little too tied up on the end goal and miss the important stuff about the journey to get there!

Rich in happiness … and I like that!

I couldn’t agree more. I grew up in a family that thought money was the end all. My father and I were different. I would much rather be happy than rich.
