    Default How to be successful- it's not what you think!

    Here's a beautiful poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson on the meaning of living a successful life.

    What is Success?

    To laugh often and much;

    To win the respect of intelligent people
    and the affection of children;

    To earn the appreciation of honest critics
    and endure the betrayal of false friends;

    To appreciate beauty;
    To find the best in others;

    To leave the world a bit better, whether by
    a healthy child, a garden patch
    or a redeemed social condition;

    To know even one life has breathed
    easier because you have lived;

    This is to have succeeded.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson


    I just wanted to share something uplifting. Our job is often stigmatized so it's important to think of success broadly instead of superficially. Take care super strippers

    Also, may I just add that to survive is to succeed. I realized recently that the following helps me survive:

    Movement, appreciation, and creation.

    Movement: Don't become stagnant. Don't lock yourself in your house. Get outside, take a walk, dance, smile, sing, go for a drive.....do something to move your body and your mind.

    Appreciation: Make a list of things you're grateful for. Appreciate beauty and nature. Appreciate friends. Feel love. Be happy to be alive.

    Creation: Write in a journal. Paint a picture. Record yourself singing. Take pictures. Write a story or essay. Bake a pie. Arrange some flowers in a vase. Do anything to make yourself feel like you have created something that is worth appreciation. Express yourself.

    Success is taking care of yourself. Be well!

    This is a great reminder that not just "money, power, beauty, and fame" is success , like is shoved down our throats in this culture. Thanks!
