Truly Successful

If you know me, you probably know that I am a very average guy. I got the results back on the blood work performed as part of my most recent annual check up and, with just a couple of exceptions, I fell into the middle of the range for all the parameters. Just average. I am average height, average weight, maybe average intelligence, hopefully average looks. Just average.

Now, if you look at my lovely wife, my beautiful kids, you will know that there must be something to being average. I mean, I have been really blessed: GOD is better to me than I deserve. Truth be known, I am sure that lots of people wonder what is wrong with Trish. I can tell you that she was made for me, and she likes average.

Today's word is a quote from Albert Einstein that says, "Strive not to be a success but rather to be of value."

Some people live their whole lives trying to be "successful" but can't even define what success is to them. Maybe you think success is a bank account full of money or a six figure salary or a $10,000 vacation, but, is that really the definition of success. Isn't being successful truly defined by the fact that we provide some value: to our SAVIOR, to our family, to our country, to our company, to our dog or cat? I can guarantee you have value to our SAVIOR, He died for you.

So, on this Friday, as we wrap up another week and prepare for another weekend, go out and provide value. If you do that, you may just find that you are truly successful.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
