Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.

Success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else.

I am the recipient of many benefits that I do not deserve and did not earn. Someone else paid for them. I am grateful! How do I show my gratitude? By daily pouring into others and passing on to them the things that will allow them to run far and achieve beyond what I have done.

The effectiveness of your work will never rise above your ability to lead and influence others.

You must do right before you feel good.

I always try to remember that I am a work in progress. It is life's journey that matters and the turns I take will determine how much progress I make. You see, I am unique in my gifts and the purpose I was created for. When I get to heaven at the end of my journey, I will not be asked what gifts He gave me, but what I did with them. Each one of us is a work in progress, with a mission and purpose to fulfill that is uniquely ours. Keep that in mind as you journey, won't you?

Success is choosing to enter the arena of action, determined to give yourself to the cause that will better humanity and last for eternity.
