First, no amount of success can heal a person’s soul. In fact, success makes it worse… If you have issues around your identity, those issues will not go away if you “make it”. They will be there until they are hunted down and identified and dealt with. We often live under the illusion that when we reach that goal and complete our mission, those issues that churn on the inside will go away.

But it’s not true.
