True success comes with doing your best to be a positive influence in any situation. That positive influence is shown through having an open mind to any and all possibilities in life whether physical, mental or spiritual. Having the dignity and respect towards fellow man to walk away from any scenario knowing that you left those behind feeling as you would want to feel is the true mark of success. Success isn't money, nor social status or even "winning the game." Success is ending each day knowing that you truly embraced not only what makes you who you are but that you've embraced others for who they are.

In my younger years. I would have said have a goal and work towards it. Six years of retirement has changed my perspective. Today, it is more of an inward process because I have learned money is not the measure of success, volunteer work is so much more satisfying ... it is truly appreciated! It keeps me productive and I'm happy; that is sucess!

A sucessful marriage/relationship starts with upmost respect for another. This attitude will work for any area in your life. Another rule for sucess is alway start your day with a smile & good attitude; if you can not do this then you should go back to bed because no one needs/wants to deal with you.

Treat people the same way that you'd like to be treated. I think if people truly did that, the'd feel better about themselves. It's a beautiful feeling inside when you treat someone else great. God wants us to show kindness to everyone. Race, religion, sexual orientation shouldn't stop people from being good to each other. All I'm saying is let's just love one another. Thank You.
