"Success"
What's the secret to success? I was asked that yesterday from one of my team members. I laughed and said when you find out tell me. Seriously though, there is no secret. It's so plain and out in the open that we all can see it. That's if we are willing to open our eyes, focus our attention, and put in the work to see it. I saw a quote that summed it up so well. The quote was anonymous and read, "Consistency over intensity, progress over perfection, fundamentals over fads. Over and over again." I had a vision of success years ago that isn't at all what I see it as today. I chased the money, the titles, the prestige. I gave up my identity, I drank too much, I neglected my family, I would leave before they woke up, and come home after they were in bed. I wanted more and more and more. Then I started meeting people along the way who had it all and were unhappy. I met people who on the surface look so good, but weren't. I sat across dreamers that became completely complacent and put their dreams on the shelf. I learned that success was not something you could define. Today I don't chase the title or the money, but I have my mind, my peace of mind, my priorities, my real friends, my family, my person. I'm happy where I am, happy with what I do, and feel a comfort I never felt chasing a dream that wasn't mine. What's the secret to success? My definition is as good as yours. Today, I know exactly what mine is. Pay attention, and I assure you, that you will find yours.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is you and my prayer for you today is from Hebrews 11:1.
"Faith is having confidence in what is hoped for and assurance about what is not seen."
Have a great day ahead everyone.
