[/i][/move] "Along with success comes a reputation for
wisdom."
--Euripides
Our definition of success varies as we move through
stages of life. While we once may have dreamed of
a large lake home and a large salary, we may have
settled for a modest home and salary. As we
reevaluate our goals, we become aware that we
have succeeded in our own way.
Success, for us, might mean we have many friends.
Or that our children have become worthwhile
citizens. We may feel successful largely because we
have learned to accept ourselves--the total package
of strengths and weaknesses. We set and reset our
own goals throughout a lifetime, and our successes
are measured, not by specific deeds or
accumulations of cash, but by how well we set our
goals and how faithful we are to them.
I'll look again at my values and goals to be sure
they leave me room for success.[/center][/glow][/color][/size]
