Recent news has got me thinking about the definition of "Success" and I wonder if many people are changing theirs in light of our changing times. Personally, and up to now, mine has been more focused on the achievement of that “big hairy goal”. Now, however, I’m paying attention to the small steps and realizing it’s not an all or nothing kind of thing. Maybe that end result won’t or can’t look exactly like what I have in mind, but I can sure learn to enjoy the journey!
Take a look at others’ thoughts on success:
"Success is found in the journey, not the destination." - Arthur Ashe
"Try not to be a man of success, but rather to be a man of value." - Albert Einstein
"If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all." -Anna Quindlen
"The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration." - Confucius
"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." -Henry David Thoreau
"The temptation to quit is greatest right before you succeed." -Chinese saying
This week: Revisit your personal definition of success and see if it still holds true. If not, use one of the above quotes to inspire what resonates more with you. That’s the beauty of Success. We get to choose its definition and change it whenever we want.
Here’s one more I especially like:
“Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time.” -Arnold H. Glasgow
