About this listen

I’ve come to realize

that success doesn’t stand still.

It belongs to a time.

And time changes faster

than we can adapt.

What mattered yesterday

feels irrelevant today.

What was knowledge

is now a footnote.

What felt true

has become optional.


You can complain.

You can resist.

You can stand your ground

and call it integrity.


The world moves on anyway.


Everything is temporary.

I don’t like that.

It unsettles me.

And deep down I know

it includes me too.


Just when I felt competent,

I became a beginner again.


Success no longer demands certainty,

but motion.

Not answers,

but openness.


So if there is a formula,

it isn’t built on control,

but curiosity.


Curiosity about the world.

About people.

About what I don’t yet understand.


Maybe that’s what success is now:

to keep learning

while everything keeps changing.
