MERAKI (ΜΕΡΆΚΙ) - THE SOUL, CREATIVITY, OR LOVE PUT INTO SOMETHING; THE ESSENCE OF YOURSELF PUT INTO YOUR WORK

The more you are willing to just let the world be something you’re aware of, the more it will let you be who you are - the awareness, the Self, the Atman, the Soul.
— Michael Singer, "The Untethered Soul"
Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself...
— Viktor Frankl, "Man's Search for Meaning"
Let’s make sure our ideas of success are our own, that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions.
— Alain de Botton, "TED Talk: A kinder, gentler philosophy of success"
