you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I used
to sit on the banks with a raft and watch the water roll lazily by. One day I pushed my raft into the shallows of the water
and found the water moved swifter than I thought. My raft was actually a boat. Then, after some time, I rowed my little boat
into deeper water. There were great storms, mighty winds, tremendous
waves,
and sometimes I felt so alone. But I have noticed my little
rowboat
is now a mighty ship manned by my friends and loved ones;
and
beautiful calm seas, warm sunny days, and nights filled with comfortable dreams always double after a storm. Now, I could
never go back and sit on the bank. In fact, I search for deeper water. Such is life when lived.
