How We Measure Success!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Many times we ask the question, "What does it mean to succeed?" Well, I have often sought that out. Wanting to succeed but not quite reaching what I think success might mean. I found this quote below and finally I get it. It doesn't mean being rich or famous or being president of a company...it's how we leave this world. Are we contributing to make it better? Are we striving to see the positive rather than the negative? Are we living our lives to the fullest? If not we can. Today is a new day! Began yet again....until we have it. Nothing becomes a habit until we do it over and over again. Be Blessed!


To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
