Second nature

Second nature
Illustration by Chiara Topo.

Key point of success is the internalization of it. We achieve our goals not at the time when we want them the most. We achieve them when we stop desiring them. 

It is not because of quitting the dream.

It is because of working towards it so much that you keep destroying the barriers between you and your goal almost automatically. You pave the way. You let your desire come to you. 

Your dream should come to you because you should close all the alternative paths that it can escape to. 

You achieve your dream when it is your second nature. When you achieve it, you may not even realize it. You may not feel happy. It becomes a part of you that you don’t recognize it. Your dream becomes not “the other”. It becomes you.

You don’t feel “happy” each time you breathe, take a step or hear. They all feel you, what you get used to. When your dream becomes the norm for you just like your breath, step and hearing, it will be yours.

It will be so “you” that you won’t be able to explain how you did it.

How you walked towards it.

How you achieved it.
