What Can Success Bring?

Marlene

Success. Everyone wants success in some areas of their lives. Maybe you want to be the greatest salesperson in the world, master chef, loving mother or father, or a website owner trying to make a difference in people's lives. What propels us, and what holds us back from our quest?

Today we are going to an article Some People Can't Handle Success to learn a bit about what it takes to be successful and what happens when success isn't handled very well.

Success is available to everyone. Here's to you and your success!

Everyone is an artist

Marlene 

Everyone is an artist or can be if you wake up the creativity inside of you. How you express your art will be different from someone else.

Perhaps you are an awesome painter or musician, potter or singer, like Marvin Gaye. Maybe you sculpt, do yoga, restore cars, build furniture, or anything else that brings your talent to life. Your love of the creation process is what pulls you to do more.

If you've never been to an art museum, outdoor concert, or someone's studio, try it sometime. Take in the whole experience and think about how you feel as you leave the venue and return to your home.

It's going to be a great day - make it happen!

Never be afraid to open your heart.

Marlene

Don't be afraid to open your heart to others. Many people you work with may be hurting or struggling right now. As Kelly Greenwood and Natasha Krol write in the Harvard Review:

"When someone shares that they're struggling, you won't always know what to say or do. What's most important is to make space to hear how your team members are truly doing and to be compassionate. They may not want to share much detail, which is completely fine. Knowing that they can is what matters."

Try to be open-minded, compassionate, and caring with others, always. They may be fighting battles that you have no idea about.

Have a compassionate day and take care!

Inspiration

Marlene

You inspire more people than you think with your words and actions. When you give the best of yourself to any endeavor, consistently, you show others what can happen when they follow your example to being the best they can be.

Remember, I'm not talking about perfection; I'm talking about showing others that they too have the ability, even if it's underdeveloped right now, to focus and work hard so they can achieve their dreams.

Life should be Amazing

One should have fun in their lives, however not at the expense of others. Their are certain rules that you always have which are these but are not limited to these. Always work in the best interests of all that is possible. Try not to become violent. Solve your problems before they control you. Be at peace with yourself and others. Live each day to the fullest. Know that you can't control everything, so just relax and enjoy the time you have.

Today

Marlene 

Today is ours to live, to choose how we feel and look for the best in every person and situation. Gratitude plays a big part in everyone's life and comes back to repay you again and again in ways you never even thought about.

Maybe you ask, "What do I have to be grateful for? I didn't get what I wanted! My life isn't going the way it was supposed to go."

I believe that everything happens for a reason, even when it's not evident to us. May I suggest that gratitude is double-sided: Be grateful for what you get - and be grateful for what you didn't get because maybe by not getting it, you escaped something else you would never want.

Influence

Marlene

Of all the people you've ever known, many have cut a path that you followed. Some have shown you their determination for a better life. Maybe it was a commitment to excellence that lit a fire in your soul.

How about those who had a deep love of family and friends, even through the hard times? Meanwhile, many wonderful souls showed us a burning desire to give back in ways that were so heartwarming.

Their quests were not easy. Obstacles stood in their way. Yet, they persevered and made a path for us to follow.
