about

We set really unhealthy and unrealistic definitions of what success is supposed to “look” like and obsess about how that preconceived vision of success is the only way our lives could possibly unfold in order to be successful. We then talk ourselves into believing that we’re going nowhere in our careers when all the little wins and baby steps have added up and turned into a career that may not look like what you define as “successful” but is its own version of success.

In the end, we're unfairly comparing ourselves to other people’s careers, giving into our own insecurities and we end up failing to let ourselves enjoy the journey.

lyrics

It’s time to pay attention with the heart
Wrestle the cynic that corrupts the lot
Bask in the failures that takes ya far
There’s no mistake that I’m going nowhere, slowly.

I second the little wins
(you said, you said)
I take it as no surprise
(I said, back me up)
I second the little wins
(you said, you said)
Fail up to keep yourself alive
I said, back me up

Season the politics that tricks the mind
Counterfeit in the confidence we hide
Rattle the baby steps just to inch right by,
There’s no mistake that I’m going nowhere, slowly…

I second the little wins
(you said, you said)
I take it as no surprise
(I said, back me up)
I second the little wins
(you said, you said)
Fail up to keep yourself alive
I said, back me up
