“A satisfied life is better than a successful life.

Because our success is measured by others,

But our satisfaction is measured by our own heart, soul and mind.”

Now I wonder,

If, perhaps, this explains that even at the beginning of what became the most successful rock band in history,

Mick and Keith could not get no satisfaction,

And I wonder if this is still an issue for them.

Wait, I think Keith is doing ok.

Now.

But what does it take to discard this notion of having missed the mark,

Made the truly big mistake,

Took a disastrous wrong turn,

While you sit in a warm chair,

In a comfortable home,

With a beautiful wife,

A wonderful family,

And steadfast friends?

How much Mary Oliver do you need to read and hear?

How often do you need to read Emerson’s “This is my wish for you”

And sit imagining the voice of your departed younger brother issuing that mandate for you,

How many Jack Kornfield meditation videos do you have to watch to learn how to just

Live your life today,

And appreciate all that you’ve done,

And, for the love of God

And yourself,

Realize that you a A-OK?
