Author and speaker Brian Tracy had this to say about success: “Success is not necessarily determined by material possessions or accomplishments. You can enjoy success simply by reaching the point where you are perfectly content with your life in every respect, and you feel no dissatisfaction or pressing need for anything else. In this sense, you can be a success sitting by yourself in a quiet place contemplating the world.” I really like this take on success. There’s no competition, no comparing ourselves to others, and no need to accumulate material possessions. All you need to do is become comfortable with who you are and enjoy it.
