It is healthy not to have too much success in your early career.

Because, in the years to come, you will simply strive harder, become better, improve improve improve....

And by the time you reach that success, you will be well worthy of it, having mastered all sorts of personal failures. And those who had success handed to them by extraneous means will never quite realize their full potential.

Premature success breeds laziness. Be thankful for the struggle.

And if you don't reach that public success, you will still have the personal success of realizing your full skill and talent. God sees it. A life of hardship and struggle is not a waste. It brings so much more to the soul--experience, patience, wisdom and true knowledge of the craft.

Keep going. You will succeed.
