Drupal, a versatile open-source CMS and application framework, has a rich history and faces exciting challenges and opportunities in its future. In this detailed blog post, we will take an in-depth look at the future of Drupal, draw comparisons to other CMS platforms, and make a forecast about its adoption.

Life is full of difficulties. It's a constant struggle against the chaos that threatens to overwhelm everything if not quickly dealt with. Furthermore, chaos masters the art of dressing itself as clarity, leading one astray. The surest way to unmask it is to ask oneself if the path one is on is comfortable. If it is, then one can be fairly certain that it's the wrong one. The right path is almost always arduous. It demands effort. To make progress, we must undertake various endeavors.

I read a beautiful text by Jordan P. Peterson at X yesterday. It goes something like this:

Sometimes life strikes unexpectedly. However, instead of letting adversity take control, we can decide how to react to it. Recently, I was bitten by a dog, resulting in my left arm being casted. Instead of lamenting over the circumstances, I chose to make the best out of the situation.

Yesterday, I spoke with a close friend, and he shared his resolutions for the new year with me. He has set a goal to establish a new company. However, before that, he wants to refine and improve his routines. In addition to his morning routine (waking up early, drinking water, no phone, and meditation), he plans to engage in sports for at least 30 minutes on at least 3 days a week. Only after firmly integrating these routines into his daily life does he intend to embark on the establishment of the new business.

I have no illusions: maintaining the status quo and progressing successfully require hard work. However, this is not just about the daily work invested in projects or business; it's more about working on oneself. Success belongs to those who have control over themselves. And to have control over oneself, one must first understand how one functions.

Those who run a half-marathon or even a full marathon know the importance of managing their own energy reserves. It is crucial not to overpace, which essentially means not exerting too much energy at the beginning of a race and ending up with no energy left to reach the finish line. As a runner, I use a watch that shows me exactly how many minutes and seconds I need for each kilometer.

I have both good news and bad news. Let's start with the bad news: Success requires hard work. Now, for the good news: Success indeed requires hard work and nothing more. No inflated vision that needs to be stretched. No inflated ego. No morning routine. No daily schedule like Elon Musk's. No, simply taking action is crucial. Regular work propels us forward. It bridges the gap between the "now" and our vision, where we want to be.

New lands were discovered because there were people who boarded ships without fear and set their course toward the endless horizon. Brave individuals like Hans and Sophie Scholl, who stood up to the Nazi thugs and paid for it with their lives, continue to be symbols that inspire millions of people to stand up for change, even if it means paying with their own lives.

In the Lünen Seepark, there is a sign that reads:

"Das Springen ist mit Gefahr verbunden und deshalb untersagt!"

Originally, for today's entry in my 50-Day Life Transformation Challenge, I had planned to write about goals, visions, and my life plan. More specifically, I wanted to delve into how one can take their vision and life plan, review it weekly, and refine it further. However, there is something more important to share.

It's paradoxical: happiness is often seen as something that simply happens to us, and we tend to wish for "success" rather than "good luck." However, we have more influence over our happiness than we think. Here's how we can foster the emergence of "happiness."

The idea of "Luck Surface Area" can be expressed in a simple formula:

Luck = Doing x Telling
