Your Values - the Keys to Success

How do you know when you're successful? Does success come only when you attain a certain status or certain goals? Since these events can take years (or decades), you could go a long, long time without feeling successful. But why not enjoy the contentment of feeling successful every day of your life? "How?" you may ask . This can be done by understanding that achieving your values is what makes you truly successful.

If we value time with friends or good books, our families and God; if we value personal discipline, growth and helping others; if we value the outdoors, sunsets and rainbows, art and music; then we're successful each and every time we experience one of our values!

When we have our values clearly defined (why not list them in your calendar?), each week should add up to many successes (in achieving our values).

Bottom line : The key to success is knowing (and experiencing) what's truly valuable to you. So you don't have to make (or look like) a million bucks, as long as you regularly get to do what you love- that's true success.
