-                      Success is the “progressive realization of a predetermined, worth while goal” (author unknown)

-                      Success means “a person is reaching the maximum potential available to him at any given moment” Ted Engstrom

-                      “You can always tell when you are on the road to success, as it is up hill all the way” Paul Harvey

-                      Success is continual.  It’s not an event but a journey, and on going process.  Success is the positive result of a steady forward movement.

-                      Some thoughts on goal setting:

o        Your goal MUST include others:  No goal is worth while that is only for yourself.  Set a goal big enough that will positively effect others

o        Your goal must be worthwhile

o        Your goal must be clean.  If you do not know were you are headed, a map will be of no use.

o        Your goal must be measurable

o        Your goal must be expandable.  As we grow, we see the picture more clearly, and we need to continually “up” or goals.  It is a sad day when we realize we have achieved our goals and have nothing else to do

o        Your goals must be filled with conviction:  conviction is the unshaken confidence that the goal is worthwhile
