The Measure of Success
Here's Something To Feel Good About Today!
Believe in yourself. Great things are going to happen.
"Success means having the courage, the determination and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be." Georg Sheehan (American physician, author and running enthusiast, 1918 - 1993)
A close friend sent this guardian angel for success to me in the mail. I immediately placed it in my car as a daily reminder. First that it is essential for me to have supportive, loving friends who believe in me, and second that no matter what, I must always continue to believe in myself.
I used to view success as accomplishment of goals and even more as financial rewards for my services. Today I know that success is more about striving for balance in many areas of my life, not just about the balance in my bank account.
My life is successful because I determine my success one moment and one day at a time. It's about doing my best to live with purpose, passion and finding and creating moments of joy no matter how small they may be. Yes I set goals and do my best to achieve them, but it's equally important for me to take the time to feel grateful, to connect to someone I love or to simply smile at a stranger who passes my way.
Everyone measures success on their own terms. It is the milestones as well as the touchstones that create a life well lived. Perhaps your being successful is just this simple; believe in yourself, support those you love and spread joy wherever you go. I would love to know what success means to you?
