Success is having a nice car

a beautiful house, and being rich- right?

Well, let's look again

Do any of those guarantee a sense

of feeling loved and mindfulness

to your goodness and the goodness of others?

Can any of those things listen when you are

lonely and cheer when you have overcome difficulties?

Maybe success is realizing the wonderful gift of life

and seeing the awesome compassion and

courage within each of us

Maybe success is learning how to love

and persevering when times are hard

Maybe success is reflecting on who

we really are- weaknesses and all

Maybe those are the keys to

living a successful life
