This question begs another - "What is success?"
After our discussion on that question my response was along the line that what I consider successful will look completely different from other people's perspectives.
On pondering further I would consider my major success was learning to love those around me a bit better. To move the focus from me to others. This is very much two steps forward, one step back. This is also the title of a blog that I follow written by a friend of mine. It is well worth reading.
Success is not something that I strive for but a label that others might bestow sometimes on some of my actions that makes me feel good about myself. I do not do things to be successful, I do things because I believe that is what I should do.
Living is not an exact science but an ongoing experience that at times I do better at than other times. What has been the most successful moment in my life? I pray that lots of people will tell me lots of different things because success is generally noticed by those watching the game rather than those participating in the game.
