Definition of Success
One of my clients just sent me this quote, so I thought I would share it with you. What is your definition of success?
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Author)

My definition of success - realising that what I thought I had to do didn't have to be done after all, freeing me to be part of the marvel and wonder of it all.
With love, Jon
