Personal Success

Here is a lovely reminder of how we assess our personal position in terms of personal achievement in many areas of our life and make decisions, otherwise generally written down as goals, for the year.  The message I received was as follows and I thought many of you may also benefit from the message it carries:

Keys to Your Own Personal Success:

“I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. She smiled and said to me….
“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me…
I stopped fighting with my in laws…
I stopped fighting for attention…
I stopped fighting to meet peoples expectation of me…
I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people..
I stopped fighting to please everyone…
I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me….
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight…
And I started fighting for
my vision,
my dreams,
my ideas and
my destiny.
The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful & so much more content.”
