The key to success

Everyone wants to be successful, right? I mean, I don't think anyone sets out to be a failure. We all want to have some degree of success. For some, that may mean an education, for others, their own piece of property, and for others, some title or position. For me, success can be summed up in one word, which we will get to shortly.

What I do know about success is that it doesn't happen accidentally. In order to be successful, you have to work hard and strive to be the very best that you can. I don't believe you can accidentally become successful. You might find a new way of doing something, you might obtain that coveted position, you might gain that recognition that so many desire, but there was probably a lot of hard work applied prior to accomplishing or receiving those things.

Today's word is a simple quote/thought: "Happiness is the key to success. Success comes to those that work hard and love what they do!"

Happiness is my key to success. If I am blessed enough to be able to work at a job that I like that will provide for my family, and we can have some fun along the way, what more could anyone ask for? Now, my desire is for my kids, and everyone, to accept JESUS as his/her SAVIOR and serve Him. In addition to that, though, is simply the hope that everyone can be happy.

When we are sitting around the dinner table and one of our little ones says something that causes us to spew water, it has been a successful day. When I see our two little ones playing and enjoying themselves and laughing and having fun, it is a success. You don't need stuff to be happy. You don't have to have stuff to be successful. If you are working hard and enjoying what you do, you are way ahead of the game. If you have happiness, you have the key to success.

Be Blessed,
