Success is such a funny thing. Some people never recognize their success no matter how successful others see them. I have to admit, I have fallen into that category in the past. Interestingly, I have come to realize that I am successful in many areas. I guess it depends to a certain degree on our expectations for success.
Yesterday, I co-hosted a very successful Music Together event. During the event, as I looked around at all of the happy faces of both children and adults, I realized not only how successful the event was, but also how successful I felt as a center director and performer. It was heartwarming and inspiring. It felt like one big family. Everyone had fun no matter what age or from what walk of life. For me, that is what success is about. It's not about how much money I make or how "famous" I am. It's about all of those happy faces. Sometimes I bemoan not being able to go places without running into someone I know, wanting to be invisible again like in so much of my past life. Then, a small child runs up to hug me or peers at me from behind their parent's legs with delight and a touch of shyness, and I realize - this is what makes me feel so alive. This is what gets me through hard times. i love this work and hope I can do it until the day I die.
