Happiness is not a Destination
An idea is not a design,
but it is an invitation to a journey.A design is not a prototype,
but it is a plan for moving forward.A prototype is not a program,
but it is a test for your assumptions.A program is not a product,
but it is a milestone towards progress.A product is not a business,
but it is the first fruit of an idea.A business is not profits,
but it is a team behind your back.Profits is not an exit,
but it is validation of your work.And an exit is not happiness,
but happiness is not a destination.Happiness is a journey.

Thanks to Liz for prompting me to consider how I might turn this around.
