My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally I was able to stop waiting tables and I was able to pay the rent and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic but good enough to make a living.
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do money comes to us doors open for us we feel useful and the work we do feels like play to us.
