True Success

I was challenged recently to think about how I define success.  Is success an increase in financial gain?  Is it a new or better job?  Is it a degree?  Is it the latest or best available?  What is your definition?

Is success your achievement?

Or.....

Is success perhaps more than you? What if true success really isn't about you, or me in my case?  Could success possibly be more about others?  If we are able to help someone else achieve their dreams, improve their finances, pay off debt, go to school, fulfill a lifelong wish- this is the measure of true success!  When we reach beyond ourselves to help a poor family gain a home, a financially strapped family pay off debt, a struggling friend gain financial independence- this is the success beyond all measure.  Success of caring for our fellow human beings.  

Blessings💜💜💜
