What Does Success Look Like to You?

There are many quotes when it comes to success. Here are just a few.

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”
— Winston S. Churchill

“The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” 
— Barack Obama

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” 
— Walt Disney

“A Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
– Lao Tzu

While these quotes are wonderful, what is success? Some feel that it is getting straight A’s (or in our case Level 4s) on each report card. Some feel it’s wealth and fame while others believe it’s about doint your best. So the larger question is, what does success look like to you?

I invite you to take the time to watch the videos below for some inspiration. 

The first is by Matthew McConaughey. I’ll be honest, I could listen to this guy read the dictionary as his voice is that addictive. Watch the shortened video of his commencement speech to the University of Houston graduating class of 2015. You can also watch fhe full version here. 

The second video is another commencement speech given by Jim Carrey to the 2014 graduating class of Maharishi University of Management. The version is also shorter and you can see the full version here. 

Ready? Set? Go get ’em! Carpe Diem.
