To me success means to be of positive profitable service to the people around you.<\/p>\n

When you accomplish this you start to find ways to be of service to those who are not immediately around you. And this is when you really start to flourish.<\/p>\n

Your rewards come from your level of service. The greater the service, the greater the reward.<\/p>\n

Success has also been defined as, “The progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.”<\/p>\n

Progressive – moving forward<\/p>\n

Realization – realizing a result<\/p>\n

Worthy – Something worth while, based in positive help for others<\/p>\n

Goal or Ideal – the end result<\/p>\n

Once you get close enough to know that your goal will be achieved then it is time to get focused on the next worthy goal or ideal.<\/p>\n

And the one thing I think that we have to wrap our minds around is that this will never end. While we live on this earth or where we go after our time on this earth ends.<\/p>\n

So get used to the idea now!<\/p>\n

Here’s to Your LifetoSuccess,<\/p>\n

John Clark<\/p>\n

P.S. All of our success comes based on how we\u00a0 manage and master our habits.
