"I'm responsible for me - my success, my failures... Fulfilment comes from within, not externally."

What's external and what's internal?

Where do your desires come from? Your hopes?

Some people think they are the masters of their mind, that what they feel come from them, but what about the influence of their parents, their friends, the movies they watch, the books they read, advertising, music, social media?

We swim in a cultural ocean where things that seem on the inside might have actually come from the outside.

That's if there's even an actual distinction between inside and outside in the first place.

"Get a win, then get another win."

Is winning the point? What if someone doesn't care about winning?
