success is getting what you want… happiness is wanting what you have.
I think someone here said this and it stuck with me:
Do not spend your time upset over things you have little control over when you can enjoy life. Just make sure by the time you leave it, it is a better place because you were in it.
If you always get what you want, maybe you’re not expecting enough.
Success is living up to your potential. That’s all. Wake up with a smile and go after life! Live it, enjoy it, taste it, smell it, feel it.

Ah, but would you have listened to this advice 15 years ago?

That’s the rub. And the reason why a thread about advice is ultimately futile.
