Success
“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
Bessie A Stanley, 1904

I found this poem amongst the archives of 10 plus years of documents on my computer. I decided to post this, because I see this as a reminder that we do not need to seek recognition from others, nor to rely on such, in order to deem ourselves worthy.
We all need to believe that our own self-discovery and awakenings is enough.
Success is what you make of it, everyone has their own interpretation. Ultimately, as online marketers, we hope to provide the solution for so many people who are searching for help.
For some, getting out of bed is a success.
We are here to make a difference in our lives, by helping to make a difference in other people's lives. We are the seed planters, nothing more. Not a discredit, planting the seed is how you build a strong foundation, because if that seed holds, you will reap the beneifts.
Your thoughts? Please share below.

Highly motivational. Thank you for sharing. Sucess is what makes you happy and content. In my case the freedom to do what I want to do rather than working in a dead end job.
Have a great day.

Success is a personal interpretation of achievement. Everyone has a different idea of what success is and as you evolve within the business world, your idea of what it is will also evolve.
It is much more complicated than defining what arbitrary success is. Thought provoking post here Rudy! :)

Great post, Rudy! I agree that success can mean different things to each person. Also, I believe that it will change as we grow and learn through personal self-development; as we work with our peers and mentors; as we listen to clients; and as we work within our niches. Hmm... that means there could be a continuous slight shifting/changing of our defition of success as we move forward. :) Thank you for an inspiring post!
Continued success to you!

You're welcome!
I agree that with a 'shift' , impossible becomes possible.
