Success

Why is real success found by so few?
The right definition is one clue,
Remembering what they already knew;
Also it is not only what you do,
But what you get from what you do;
Not only living in the now moment,
But expanding this here and now,
By perpetual learning and growing,
From making your very best effort
At whatever you are doing right now;
Making a difference for self and others—
Reading, listening, playing or working,
Gradually closing this bothersome gap
Between your dreams afar,
And where you are;
From your ordinary other self,
To your extraordinary signature myself,
Being so busy to notice progress—
Going from just surviving to thriving,
When you stop talking and taking,
And start doing and giving without a you,
Living success as one of the few.
