Success isn't what you think
We often think of success as winning the big game,
getting the promotion, making a ton of money, and
so on.
Yet, success is much more than winning.
Success is about rising above mistakes, failures, hardships,
heart aches, setbacks and pain.
Success is about pursuing what truly matters to you when
others think you're a fool.
Success is about staying the course and coming out on top
AFTER others have doubted you, told you that you cannot
make it, that you'll never succeed.
Success is about raising the volume of the Inner Voice that
believes in you and knows you can win - and lowering the
volume on the "no can do" voice

I think that success is the ability to weigh the inner and outer voices to get the most you can out of life. You can believe you are a tomato, but when someone tells you that you aren't without weighing the knowledge of the person that disagreed with you... There is a wisdom in recognizing that there are those out there that are smarter than yourself on certain topics. I'm not going to take the word of my plumber on a household wiring issue as law so to speak. My Opinion granted...
In my family ... I am the one called: dreamer, nut case ... and always chided with: why don't you get a "real job", yeah- you're talented -but how you going to make money, and what crazy scheme are you into now. Okay, I admit, I've made a few mistakes ... but I've had a lifetime of learning new things, going new places, meeting new faces and I'm never bored or depressed ... unless I make the BIG mistake of getting a "real" 9 to 5 job! I continue to rise above .... and soon ... I'll be coming out on top! Thanks for the inspiration!
when someone tells you all that bulls--t. don't believe any of that, just believe in yourself and that's all you need. i don't even know you and i believe in you, good luck
I agree, success comes when we are doing something that really matters to us. Success isn't always money either, it can be helping a cause or just sharing what we love for others to enjoy. Lori
