Greetings to you this morning!
What Is Success? We have as many different answers to this
question.
Is success the attainment of wealth, fame or fortune? Popularity
? Being at the top rung of a corporate ladder?
For all of our definitions of success, they all seem to center
around the number of things, regardless of what that number represents. Attainment,
accumulation and abundance also seem to be words describing our customary
definition of success.
Success isn't any of these numbers, kinds or amounts of things,
that are all exterior to ourselves. Understand, “Success isn't what comes to
you, but what comes out of you!”.
This simple quote is even simpler to practice. For instance, in
relationship to the relationships you have in your life, success defined in
this way, would mean that it's more important how many smiles you give, than
how many you get back. And to do this regardless of the true nature of giving,
which is that you always get back more than you gave anyway.
It's a limitless Universe, after all. Therefore, success, when
defined in this manner, means that the means, methods and manifestations,
surrounding our particular form of success, all matter less, than how we go
about achieving it.
