I know I'm "supposed" to do it, but I've never been able to. I know generally what I'd like to accomplish in my life, but if I fall short that's OK too. I do have to set myself very concrete, specific near-term goals or else I'd never get anything done. So maybe the answer is to have goals but not worry too much about success? A life lived well is success enough for me. .-= Barbara J Carter´s last blog ..<a href="http://barbarajcarter.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/new-little-bitty-painting-dots-12-open-grid/" rel="nofollow">New little-bitty painting “Dots 12 (Open Grid)”</a> =-.

I was starting to worry about you at the beginning, you paint quite a word picture as well. I feel very strongly in life that the conclusion you've come to is correct. If success is only money, than happiness teeters on being unsuccessful by today's standards. Instead, who I turn out to be and am becoming are far more important, and outweighing that still is whether or not I decide to positively impact. Kudos! .-= Susan Hamilton´s last blog ..<a href="http://zerotosixtymarketing.com/what-does-zero-to-sixty-really-mean/" rel="nofollow">What Does Zero To Sixty REALLY Mean?</a> =-.
