The New Meaning of Success Going beyond personal goals

I think finding success today is about more than just chasing our dreams. It’s got to be about using our unique gifts to make the world a little better, too.

Going after big personal goals is fine, but making a real difference takes things to another level. We’ve all got something special to contribute – so let’s focus on leaving things better than we found them.

That’s real success to me.

You are not here merely to prepare to make a living.

You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.

You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.
