The true meaning of success can make all the difference in your philosophy and how you can, and should, impact the world and those around you.

Written so many years ago, but more relevant than ever. The following excerpt, written by Henry Thomas Hamblin, is something I like to frequently meditate upon. It feels right, and provides my ambitions with a moral compass to keep my head and heart in-line with each other.

“ …success is the achievement of something worth while, that shall make the world better and richer, and add something to the common good. Our sphere in life may be very humble, but if we overcome our own weaknesses, help others along life’s pathway, and do our daily work better than we need, our life cannot be other than successful. If, at the end of our life, we can be thankful for it, realizing that we have made the best possible use of it, we have achieved real success.”
