Shine With Grace

Cartoon by Andrew Matthews

What is your definition of success?

Become a millionaire / billionaire / a CEO of a Fortune 500; married to the person you love; make the world a better place than it is…

Amongst the many definitions that I have come across, I quite like the one from Andrew Matthews, author of Being Happy and Follow Your Heart.  According to him, success means:

1. Have people in your life who you love and who love you;
2. Spending your life doing things that have real meaning to you; and
3. Leaving the world a better place than you found it.

Isn’t it true?  You can make a lot of money doing things you hate day and night.  You can climb high in the corporate ladder but neglected your family.  You can be a millionaire but at the same time a very selfish person.

I don’t know about you, but, I think, if we bear these three definitions in mind, there should be a better chance that we make choices that make sense to us when we look back at the end of the day, with little regret.
