A few weeks ago, my husband, Mark, and I were unpacking and came upon this poem. It was one I had saved probably 20 years ago. Yet, I think it still holds true today, so I thought I would share. For me, it is a good reminder of what success truly is.
That Person is a Success….
Who loves life
and lives it to the fullest.
Who has discovered and shared
the strengths and talents
that are uniquely their own;
Who puts their best into each task
and leaves each situation
better than they found it;
Who seeks and finds
that what is beautiful
in all people….and all things;
Whose heart is full of love
and warm with compassion;
Who has found joy in living
and peace within themselves.
