What Is Success?
You would get a different answer from every person you asked. As individuals we are all unique from each other. I'm sure the answer would have a lot to do with which generation you are associated with in this lifetime.
I'm sure I am older than many members on this site. So the Father that was a big part of my life is only a memory now. One thing I remember most is the line posted in my signature of the Forum. He told me that on a constant basis.
Reminding me that an over inflated ego can obsess you and trap you like you are in the middle of a big balloon. That looks like a soap bubble. Full of mirrors where the only person who can see you, .....is you.
One of the other things he talked to me about one time was his definition of what success is. He told me that many people are raised to believe success is a destination they will reach some day. If they do all the right things in the right order.
Reminding me that is why so many get frustrated and feel they aren't making any progress in their life. I remember him telling me that day we talked that success is not a destination. Success is not something you will reach somewhere down the road in life.
Success is something that happens on a daily basis. The fireworks may not be going off but you achieve success everyday in some way.
Here's to your success....

I needed this post again, Matt. I'm behind in my WA Article club here, yet I've made so much progress here and elsewhere. I'm playing catch-up, but I'm still far ahead of where I was. So, here's to a successful weekend and week ahead. Thanks for sharing this.
It goes hand in hand with what a future is.
Some people make it happen.
Some people watch it happen.
Some people just sit there and let it happen.
Some people wonder what happened.
The future is not what we enter...
It's what we create.

Thanks Wes and Joan. I agree with you Kathy. It was like they had standards that got them through life. Like music for instance. I love to listen to MartiniInTheMorning.com that plays the old standards. The Rat Pack along with the rest. The interesting thing is that the young generation today can get this music on their iPhone and they like it. Some of us might remember it as music our parents listened to. They think it's a new type of music and thinks it's great. I'm in ah of how many artists I knew from rock 'n roll days who are putting out music of the same. I never thought I'd hear Sting, Elton John, Rod Stewart or Barry Manilow singing songs from the standards of yesteryear. Rod Stewart called his first CD the GAS(Great American Songbook). He's done a total of 5 Cds now.
It's amazing how smart our fathers were and how some of their convictions how gotten us through our lives.

Well said Matt! Thanks to you and your father...My motivation for the day.
Thanks andy. It's surprising how talks you remember having back then can keep you going today.

I love it Daniel because that is so true. I am pleased to hear you are making progress Carrie. That is Great! We all have other responsibilities so I would never say that someone is behind and needs to catch up. Keep thinking about how far ahead you are. You have come a long way since that first day you joined. Keep up the great work.
