Success
Success should ultimately be a measure of how well we have pursued the things we value most. If we value material choice and comfort, let that be the measure. If we value knowledge, let learning be the measure. If we value adventure and discovery, let travel and new experiences be the measure. If we value nature and beauty, let time spent outdoors and appreciating art be the measure. If we value family and friends, let intimacy and love be the hallmarks of our success. So long as we know what we value – and do not let others dictate the yardstick by which our lives should be measured – we will always enjoy personal success.
