Venus: I disagree with regards to the cats. Being like a cat is being one with nature, which is a good thing. If I can go with the flow rising and washing like a cat, I would feel good. I usually find it difficult and hate myself for it, so if I manage and thus do not hate myself, AND start saying that "well, but this is just the baseline for most people, no big deal", then this is not enough for me. It was a baseline for me too, in the past, but not anymore as the years go by. So if I reach something that is usually not attainable FOR ME, then FOR ME it is a success, because success is an (unusual) attainment or achievement. By definition (from free dictionary online): "The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted". My biggest problem is that I do not even attempt, and therefore I have few successes.
