Day 11 – How do you Define Success?

note: this is part of #bloganuary where each day in the month of January, there is a prompt that we can write on.

Oh my, this is going to be two days in a row and I do not have a definitive response for this. Like so many, I have spent time trying to achieve, to find success.

One of my personal successes is that I went back to college, in my forties, to finish my undergrad.

Huge success.

I have finished multiple 70.3 mile triathlons and marathons. Just being able to walk, limp, or crawl across the finish line is a success.

Dawn and I have been married 23 plus years and I written here on my pride of my family.

Immeasurable success.

There are plenty of people that have more money than I do. There are plenty of people that have far less. Here is what I do have, all the things that money can not buy.

Success.

The quote below by Albert Einstein really sums up my thoughts on striving for success:

“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.”

I believe that if more of us worked to be a person of value, this view of success would make the whole world a much different place.

Peace out y’all
