Success

the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
 "there is a thin line between success and failure"

So what makes

Successful?




I'm thinking would be to accomplish what ever it is you are aiming for. 
This doesn't necessarily mean 'wealth' or 'money'.

If your desire is to simply 'own your own home' and you are buying your house, that would make you a success! Be proud of yourself for accomplishing your goal.

Success isn't just for the rich or famous. 

We live in a world of Successful people, however many do not view themselves as a success story.

It has often been said "The only way to fail is to quit on yourself". 

Success can simply be, because you are still trying. That effort alone is a sign of a successful person. 

Too often we feel like we have failed, simply because we have not attained that objective that we were striving for. 

Stop trying to get rich. Try to get comfortable. 

Stop shopping for a mansion and look for a house. 

If you really want to reach the top and have the biggest house/mansion. You start with a cabin and work your way up.

Keep your dreams and lower your goals.

Every time you accomplish a step closer you have successfully achieved a stone towards your dream. Every time you achieve a stone, you feel more successful and more empowered. The more empowered you feel the greater your efforts will become towards the dream. 

Success comes in all shapes sizes and efforts. 

A 14 year old girl working to buy her own horse, is a success story in itself and I can bet she'll go far in life. 


What is success? There are many definitions, but there's one thing all the greats agree on: Success only comes by persevering despite failure.

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." -- Winston S. Churchill

To Assume

 Makes an ass out of you.

Can you see SPOT the dog


Years back, my youngest son attended a party at a friends. 
An accident happened and the medics arrived. 
-the apartment complex was known for drugs, so my son was mishandled by the paramedics.
-when someone told the medics his mother lived in a motel they called the father. 
This action was a violation of a PROTECTION ORDER  naming the mother and the son. 

After the situation at the hospital and a night of hell. Both I and my son safely returned to the motel. With a full POLICE ESCORT.

The following day I received a call from the Fire Marshall. 

APOLOGIZING for his crew and their actions. 

According to the attorney who wanted the case and to sue....... 
I had a winner. 

INSTEAD

My response to the Fire Marshall

"You of all people. Hear that someone lives in a motel and assumes the worse of them. How do you not know my house BURNT TO THE GROUND and I am in a motel waiting for insurance funds"

I could hear the shame in his voice. 

He told me this story would become part of his future training, and I hope he was a man of his word. 

NEVER ASSUME YOU KNOW SOMETHING when you truly know nothing about it.
