SUCCESS
Not wanting any thing.
Confidence in your
motivation.
Waking each day
optimistically.
Being content with yourself
now.
Knowing you have done your
best.
Bliss in the face of all
that is nasty.
A life filled with new
experiences; old ones seldom relived.
When accomplishments and
rewards have no effect on your behavior.
The psychic caress you give
yourself on the brink of rest for your kind, loving heart.
Two hearts caring,
unabashedly, constantly … for each other: The greatest success
the world will ever know.
- Perhaps no one ever
'arrives'; we are always 'becoming'.
- Perhaps you must be
‘pleased with yourself’ before you can gloat.
- Perhaps success is
happiness which has burgeoned in a loving heart.
- Perhaps recognition,
respect and praise ‘stroke’ the child in you; perhaps the
adult seeks much more.
- Perhaps you must
acquire a sense of accomplishment in order to move on
effectively to your next quest.
- Perhaps goal-oriented
people do not realize that the ‘getting there’ is what is
important, what builds character and self-esteem.
- Perhaps amassing the
material motivates; perhaps a crass naiveté has been
inculcated by ubiquitous advertising and its incessant
exhortation to acquire.
- Perhaps to make headway
in life’s journey you must fill the ruts and smooth the
pathways; perhaps ‘leaving a trail’ will let others know you
were there.
- Perhaps your spiritual
uniqueness and potential so intimidate you that pursuit of
the trivial appeals; perhaps the expediency of obsession
makes it easy to ignore the pleas of your more noble nature.
- Perhaps the skewed goal
of attaining THINGS has perpetuated acceptable selfish
behavior; perhaps this has decimated family nurturing and
cohesiveness; perhaps this "I want, give me" attitude
produces demands, frustration and violence; perhaps the
arrogant anarchy of today will eventually implode leaving
the caring to clean up the mess.
