Daily writing prompt
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
It wasn’t Elon Musk or Donald Trump. Without thinking very long, the first name that came to mind was Warren Buffett. I don’t know much about him, but from what I’ve seen and heard, he seems like a pretty practical guy. Not flashy, but sensible and wise.
With a bit more deliberation, I am thinking about anyone who has felt purposeful or called, had or has a certain drive or vision, and sees it to completion. Success is often tied to money, but there are other ways to measure it: self-satisfaction, goals reached, improving lives, relieving suffering, overcoming challenges and doubt.
