Just What Is Success?

Success is defined in the Webster’s Dictionary as the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. This is all well in good, but so many people get caught up in that one word WEALTH, so they believe in order for them to be successful they have to obtain wealth. I do not at all agree with this. Wealth should not be the determining factor of success. I believe the determining factor of success should be hard work, consistency and determination. These things help bring you wealth in so many ways outside of money. Please do not get me wrong, I think wealth is a good thing, it helps you to accomplish things in your life that you would otherwise not be able to obtain, but wealth should not be the determining factor on how successful you will become, this should come from you. No matter what stage of life you are in, you must realize that you are that determining factor on how successful you will become in this life, if you will succeed or fail at what you are pursuing, not by what someone else says.
So the next time someone tells you that the only real measure of success is by how much money is in your account, how many houses or cars you own; STOP, turn around look at them and say.“you really truly do not know the meaning of success.” I promise you this will stop them in their tracks! Do not let their determining words decide how success is truly gained, measure or determined.

After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

“Weight-Train” Your Brain
I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
