Success was never meant to be an attainment; it was meant to be a testament.
Success is the greatest of all panaceas.
As war often comes in the name of peace, success the destroyer, often comes in the name of creation.
The false need for what is commonly seen as success, continues to rob people of the true success, with which they were born.
Success can be like building an empty castle, when all you really needed was a true home for your heart. Success itself has vanquished many noble hearts. It has turned kings of spirit into spiritual paupers.
Once accomplished, success reveals its own insignificance in a life of true meaning.
The anticipation is always sweeter, than the moment what you longed for arrives.
Success is more painful than failure, because it comes with the death of anticipation and longing.
Success can be deadly, while failure feels safe. Success is a risk, and failure seems guaranteed, so failure feels less disappointing.
Real success sometimes involves saying no to growth, expansion and gain. Real success often involves absorbing tremendous loss on a personal level. Real success often involves sacrifice. Real success always involves virtues such as humility, compassion, and an abiding reverence and respect for life.
