At the same time though... Isn't actual concrete success, as in results in the world such as winning races or being a more effective teacher, for example, do you think being in a good emotional place is always enough? Are there challenges you face where feeling good only gets you part of the way to your desired result? Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

If you believe: it will come easily if I have the right talent/parents/education/genes/whatever or/and I need to work hard - then it will be so. But if you say: "I can easily achieve anything I want" - it will be so. The success and/or achievement could definitely come from talent or hard work, but there are plenty of other ways. I believe that success is not about talent or hard work. It is about where you are emotionally. If practice and hard work brings you into good emotional place - that's for you. But if you angry all the way - it is useless and you need to become open to other ways. Ones that make you feel good.
