Success is like an iceberg. People often only see what is above the water.
They forget about how much of that iceberg is below the water.
They don’t see or recognize the hard work, the failure, the persistence, the dedication, the sacrifice, the discipline, the criticism, the good habits, the courage and everything else it takes to get there.
Next time you wonder if you are successful, remember that you are doing better than you think you are. Whether it’s flute playing or anything other endeavor in life, as long as you keep trying to improve, as long as you pick yourself up and dust yourself off, as long as you don’t give up, you are being successful.
