Success Defined!

I believe "success" is creating legacy from your destiny, in this lifetime.  

Life has never been about material gain; nothing you own will go with you in the end. Rather, it's about the self-mastery achieved from this struggle, and the legacy you leave behind for others.

It once seemed to me that self-mastery was a goal in itself, but then it became obvious. Tiger Woods doesn't think about self-mastery; he thinks about perfecting his shots. Michael Jordon never thought about self-mastery; he thought about winning at basketball. A yogi doesn't think about self-mastery; he's thinks about knowing God.

Without mastery, there can be no excellence. Yet, it is the attainment of excellence that breeds self-mastery. You must first discover your destiny. Then, design a compelling vision for your legacy. Think big! From there, bring big dreams to life!
