Success
So long as you know what you value – and do not let others dictate the yardstick by which your life should be measured – you will always enjoy personal success. Not that you will always achieve what you set out to achieve, but you will always find a way to get closer to the things that are important to you. It will not be easy, because the world is full of people and institutions trying to tell you what you should be achieving. It takes strength and courage to know when to follow their advice, and when to lead from your own inner knowing; when to bend and when to stand firm. Success, then, becomes the ability to remain true to yourself.
