Success And Inspiration

Table of Contents

Inner Peace and Fulfillment

To me success and fulfilment lead in two different directions: one outwardly to the hope of glory, the other inwardly to the guarantee of peace.

It is questionable, for that matter, whether success is an adequate response to life. Success can eliminate as many options as failure.

Without inner-peace and contentment, success will ultimately destroy you.

When you accept that there is no success greater than inner-peace and contentment, you instantly qualify yourself for more success.

The trappings of success bring the opposite of success in the ways most meaningful to people's lives.

In the bosom of success lie not delights but deprivations

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.

Personal Responsibility and Choice

Success - is not about defeating others; but about defeating oneself

No one "deserves" success; it is either earned with hard work or lost to the hands of fate.

I am the only person responsible for my success and failure.I am where I am because of the choices I have made.

You don't have to let his definition of success be yours

The reason why a person does not have success can be found inside him. It is his worldview, conscience, and perception of life

Whether in the workplace or in personal relationships, success belongs to those who are willing to take responsibility for attaining their desires-those who respond to life actively rather than passively.

Being successful is a choice and, therefore, being defeated is a decision.

Success is more a matter of choice than of circumstance.

Service to Others

The lesson of the ages have proved that success is more than just the accumulation of wealth and by contract no one can be a complete failure when you work towards goals and services of others, your goals must be fulfilled.

Success is not what you accomplish in life, it is about how you inspire others to succeed.

Success is defined, not by what you achieve in life, but by what you do for others without expectations.

Sacrifice and Hard Work

success awaits those who steadfastly commit to any requisite sacrifice

Without sacrifice, how can there be success?

Success is sacrifice.

There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.

For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself.

Success is not an entitlement. It has to be earned

Success is not an entitlement. It has to be earned.

Defining Success Individually

Success is subjective, so define it for yourself. Don’t allow your life efforts to be dictated and judged according to other people’s standards.

People are different and it is this uniqueness that also makes it imperative for the definition or meaning of success be left to each individual to determine.

One woman's definition of success may not be another's. Is success, as the world defines it, an accomplishment in a society this sick?

People should decide what success means for them, and not be distracted by accepting others' definitions of success.

There's nothing that says you have to succeed in the same way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says you must define success in the same way as someone else.

There may be mistakes in the choice of means to attain an end. But success or failure also involves much that lies beyond our power. We are not responsible for the inevitable, nor for a knowledge that is beyond our reach. Solely the ends, honestly chosen, and consistently sought, determine the moral quality of a life.

In the end ... success or failure will come down to an ethical decision, one on which those now living will be judged for generations to come.

I don't see success as the goal. Obedience is the goal.

I am not called to be successful, I am called to be faithful.

In the end ... success or failure will come down to an ethical decision, one on which those now living will be judged for generations to come.

The success or failure of a given day is measured by the quality of our interest and compassion toward those around us. We define ourselves by our response to human need. The question is not how we feel about our neighbor but what we have done for him or her. We reveal our heart in the way we listen to a child, speak to the person who delivers mail, bear an injury, and share our resources with the indigent.

Collaboration and Community

Success Is Not An Inheritance But A Merit

One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish much. Success is the result of people pulling together to meet common goals.

Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
