   envy and jealous, that are the most common feeling for anyone. By the time you know how that person succeed, you will cease that feeling because you know you can't achieve success

    I think of it as an imposter, as I do failure. Only due to my spiritual bent. The aim of life is progress ... self-transcendence.
    
    Life is constant movement and in this movement, we get experiences necessary for our growth. Success and failure are part of it. I do not negate them. Yet when one is strong enough to remove a scar or thorn in the foot, one removes them and carries on. Happy Easter!!

          Do you get into it deeply while sculpting? Like you were in a state of meditation, and no sense of time, and hard to remember all the details?

                I have only felt that a couple of times. During the creation of my best work. Amazing.

                         About 10,000 hours of practice on something is the most common thread to greatness.
                         For example. If you get good to hit a hole in one in golf. Just study everything you just did, to be able to achieve a hole in one again. I think magic and science co-exist.

    Not a bad answer. From a spiritual point of view, one must never give up! You are teaching them the messages of resilience and patience. Sometimes we finish the race, sometimes we stumble. That's life. The resilient or perseverant athlete differs from others, as he keeps trying. Progress is even in trying, as each moment is new.' Leave alone all those who fail to see the Light. They have their own Paths.

    Success = Being Happy
    
    I've met many people who have lives most of us would admire, and are miserable.  I'm referring to attorneys, business people and others at the top of their game.  I know a very wealthy man who hates his life.
    
    So, happiness is more important than money and material things.  Life is too short to spend it being miserable.  There are too many things to enjoy before the dance is over.
    
    So, when I see someone who is truly happy, no matter what their economic condition...I believe THEY are successful.
