(IJCH) Something To Ponder - "To Feel Human"
IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (meaning: My warped, personal opinions and musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
Striving
It is the human condition to test one's mettle - so to speak - when dealing with the disparity of external opinion and one's own personal beliefs.
The gamut of emotions are set in motion when one is focused on achieving something - anything.
For those who have already come to this realization, I applaud your efforts. I'm certain you are "feeling it".
For those who have yet to experience it, I submit the following musings.
(IMHO) this is what it is to really "Feel Being Human":
Something To Ponder - "To Feel Human"
"To really feel being Human, one must be striving towards one's own personal success; to write one's own "Personal Legend " (Paulo Ceulho "the Alchemist").
Why do I say this?
Because the only CONSTANT in this reality is CHANGE (meaning: Oftentimes, the killer of success is success unexamined).
And one must accept this universal principle or fall prey to complacency.
For "success" is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal (Earle Nightingale) - whatever that goal may be." - Jaichai

Thanks for stopping by.
About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
I like it that you say that striving is part of being human. Though I do not like the process of striving, I have learnt to accept it. Like it is quoted in your post, success would be a worthy prize awaiting at the end of the process, hopefully. hahah! Thanks @jaichai :)

Don't forget that simply by striving you are, indeed, already a success.

Correct.
I personally believe that everyone has a qualification that he does not like, beyond that many obstacles have to be overcome. There is no work that people can not do in the world.

Great words @jaichai, thank you!
Of course there are many measures of success, but the best one I have ever heard and adhere to is: "The warmth of a person's heart."
