How would you define success?

Posted on Aug 1st, 2008 by Elaine : your best friend Elaine
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 01, 2008:

Success is the measure of personal fulfillment. Every individual looks at it on a different scale, some with more or less focused achievements than others. It's a matter of satisfaction with oneself and his works.


The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live - the structure of western civilization - begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world. - Marianne Williamson

What values of yours have remained the same?

Respect your elders. I work with seniors as a teen volunteer, and I've noticed how some of my peers are quite disrepectful. I think the majority of kids today have lost their courtesy, grace, and manners. My parents raised me to always respect my grandparents, the late and the living, as well as older aunts and uncles and neighbors. It's taken me a while to realize that they have experienced more than we have, and even though they may not be up to date with the "new" culture, they still have so many stories we can learn from by just listening. I know values and morals fluctuate at times, but this is one I will always stand by.
