Real success
There are as many definitions of success as there are people
who pursue it. Real success is what feels right to you, what
you know in your heart that it is.
If you have to compromise your most deeply held values to
achieve success, that isn't success. If you have to make
yourself miserable to achieve success, that isn't
success.
Real success comes from bringing to life the best of who you
are. It has nothing to do with acquiring trinkets or
exercising power over others.
Real success comes when you use each moment to express a
purpose that is uniquely you. Success is a gift you work to
give rather than a position you strive to attain.
You can never be happy by accumulating things you don't
truly cherish, no matter how many of them you may have.
Happiness is yours when you simply let it be, with no
conditions and no requirements.
Move on past the disappointment that comes from following a
dream that is not yours. Be the best of who you are, and
live the joy of real success.
