Anyone who is successful
(any definition of successful)
has had help.
They might not acknowledge
that help.
Heck, they might not
KNOW about the help
they were given.
But it was there.
Someone helped them.
Usually numerous someones
numerous times.
I, for example,
a couple days ago,
suggested another writer’s book
for a Best Of 2024 Award.
I didn’t tell that writer.
I just did it.
And if she wins
or is nominated,
I will be happy for her
and I will continue to be silent
about my part
in that success.
Everyone has had help.
Help others.
Hope others help you.
When you’ve achieved success,
realize that someone DID help you.
