You were delusional. It's not your fault, it's a deception that's been foisted on generation upon generation for time without end. You will never be more successful than you are right now, you will never be happier than you are right now, you will never be less unhappy than you are right now, and you will never be smarter than you are right now. You've been lied to, told that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But the rainbow never ends. You can keep on chasing it, though, if you want to. Or you could accept that what you are, bad as it may seem, is what you are. Because the illusion, often called hope, is that you can be something other than that.
