How do you measure success?
Success:
To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I don’t know about you, but I have fallen short in the definition of “success” as shown above. Life can be simple or we can fill it up with all kinds of “things” that keep us distracted of its true meaning. I consider myself an entrepreneur, work online from home and have a love and passion for what I do, but that doesn’t always measure up on the yardstick of success.
I am just getting acquainted with one of my fellow Rock Stars - JanieRuth. She is one of those infectious people who exude ultra personality, energy and care for anyone who crosses her path. While in Chicago at eBay Live last week, JanieRuth suffered a 10-foot fall at the Art Institute of Chicago and suffered a serious head injury. When she awakened from her coma, the first thing that struck her friends was her smile. That beautiful enveloping smile shone throughout the ICU room and touched the hearts of all those around her.
I’ve never met JanieRuth – only online. Her vitality, strength and now, her courage impacts me greatly. If only I….
Please pray for JanieRuth and her family over these next 4-6 weeks. Let us uplift her as she has done to so many others. Take note and take care to touch someone else’s life. Set that example, as has JanieRuth , in your personal life as well as in your business. Remember, it isn’t all for naught.
