What does success mean to you?

Prosperity, health, happiness, fulfillment, peace of mind?

While seeking to walk upon a path that leads to success in life, how many of us are prepared to realize or accept that we fashion the very path upon which we walk?

If you are waiting for the right path, the right moment, the right opportunity, you wait in vain – for the moment is now, in this place, in this circumstance!

In a quiet moment of realization, you may discover that in your determination to find life you have run from life. In your effort to get something from life, perhaps you have not yet fully understood that to get, one must give.

In seeking to change circumstances, conditions, or others, you find that you have changed nothing. In attempting to lift the veil that obscures, it often seems that you have deepened the darkness.

How, then, shall we find that which we seek?

The way is not far, it is near. It is not mysterious or difficult to comprehend. The path to success in life is simple. We must change, not others, circumstances, or conditions, but ourselves.

You already know the meaningful things of life: kindness, friendship, gentleness, sharing, compassion, encouragement, trust, love, understanding, interest. Remember that others seek and falter just as you do.

If you would step on the path of purpose it is necessary to give purpose to your path, to give the very things you seek.

If you would have ideas, give your wonderful mind the opportunity to bring forth and develop ideas and share them with others.

If you would receive encouragement and understanding, be gentle and considerate to others.

If you would dispel loneliness, share your love with others.

Instad of looking for meaning in life, realize that you are, yourself, that meaning.

And realize, too, that your good comes from one source but through many channels, not always the same one you gave to.

Decide and determine for yourself:

“Each step I take this day will be upon the path of purpose. I contribute purposefully and constructively to life!”

God is Blessing You, Right Now!
