SUCCESS


What is real success?



Everyone wants success, and yet they often don’t know when they have it.

For most, it is the maddening chase toward a better way of life or more of something. More fame, power, recognition, money, or ………..

Material stuff..

For some it is the understanding of a loving partner, the love of their , or the people that they can count on when life throws them a curve.


I have come to believe that success is not more material wealth, but peace, happiness, contentment, and love.

Most of all love…….

Real success is not to be sought after in the outer world, but discovered in your inner world. I am not condemning the stuff of life. We all want the best that life has to offer.


But we don’t need as much as we think we do.


Sooner or later you will discover that real success is to be found in loving relationships. With your family, friends, strangers, and anyone who may cross your path. It is kindness shared, support given and received, listening, giving, and caring.

These will endure while your car rusts, your toys break, and you tire of the temporary gratifications that bring you what you think is real.

What matters is people.

What lasts is love. What counts are true friends, and if you treasure these you can count yourself a success…..

You always have ssomething in your blogs that helps bring people back to the simple pleasures of life and that kind of attitude. And for that I thank you. This blog says a lot about you and your philosophy of life. And I could not agree with it more. It brings to mind George Bailey in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". Wealth and success cannot be measured in terms of dollar and cents or material things.

If you don't know where you are going, how are you going to know when you get there?



The perversity of the universe is unbounded.
