The problem is then I fall into some weird reverse snobbery and pity the ones whose identity as the-world's-successful I am trying to pretend doesn't matter to me because (of course) they must be lonely and empty. And that strange pity is no better than bemoaning my lack of success. <BR/><BR/>At the best times I know that I am happy where I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-1169396459700728132007-01-21T10:20:00.000-06:002007-01-21T10:20:00.000-06:00For me success is about finding a balance.

I think the hardest part about being a woman is finding the time each day to be by ourselves, quiet time, time spent in contemplation or meditation that would allow us to find that fine balance.

If I am feeling content about my situation in life, I don't feel as if I "need" all of the extra things that I sometimes desire to make myself feel better, such as nice clothes, and a perfectly decorated home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-1169347968511818562007-01-20T20:52:00.000-06:002007-01-20T20:52:00.000-06:00I feel so confused by success.
