Success

Sunday, January 11, 2009
I started my weekend off with a yoga session that concluded with this poem. It was a good reminder for me all weekend.

What is 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

How was your weekend?
