Another Version of Success

Not accomplishing what was

intended is not a failure. Not

all efforts meet with society's

version of 'success.'

In not meeting expectations,

we succeed by; learning how

to stay strong, persevere,

remain committed, alter our

thinking, try new tactics,

seek help when necessary,

rely on friends, practice faith,

retool our idea, develop more

confidence, get a sense of

humor, expand our horizons,

get the word out, and much more.

Things don't happen overnight.

Give yourself a break.

Give yourself a chance.

Give your idea and your efforts

the time to get noticed and get

solidly supported.

If you lose your spirit now, you

might not be 'where you need to be'

when the break happens.

Success doesn't happen in a first

attempt (except in rare freak

accidents.)

Success comes from a thousand

nights of late hours, plenty of

bumps and bruises, plenty of

footprints on our egos, a million

moments of disbelief being

overcome, and a bunch of skeptics.

Keep hope alive,
