 |
|
Someone once asked me a question....
"How successful do you think you are?"
That question took a while to sink in.
How does one define 'success' ?
Do we measure SUCCESS by the material gains that we are able to accumulate........or by the hearts that we touch as we travel this journey we call life??

Each of us defines success on our own terms. For me it is having a job I enjoy that provides an income that allows me to support my family in a place we want to live. |

| I think that that the success can't be measure in the the things that you have, the success to me is that you feel when you think that have obtain that you want. which ever that is. however anything can and will be different for each person. |

well...
Let's see.
I'm healthy
I slept good last night
I'm happy at my job
My son is terrific
I wouldn't mind having a girlfriend, but they seem to be trouble sometimes so maybe not 
Oh! and it's almost lunchtime
So family is good, work is good, I eat, I sleep, I go to the bathroom - I must be successful.

what dose bathroom have to do with Daoist?
You mean, Daoists don't have to take a shower? that would be stinking 
Or maybe you want me to help you bathe? that makes sense. |

You have wife, why did you think about a girlfriend?
