Success is a dirty word.
Just the mere mention of it will conjure up a whole set of expectations and emotions.
You’re attached to the idea of it.
It haunts you.
You think you know what it means, but the reality is, it’s been defined for you.
And it’s come to define you,
It’s even been associated with your value as a human being.
Success is not about achieving an aim, it’s about having one
It’s not about winning, it’s about trying
And it’s not about how much you have, it about what you do with it
And fundamentally it’s about who you are, your character, as a person.
Success is not confined to this world
Nor should it be
So don’t let anyone tell you if you’re successful or not, that’s not for them to say
It’s for you to figure out, and that’s best left to you and God.
