Do what you love and be the best at it. 

Success is defined differently for us all. Personal victories differ from corporate victories. Our successes are measured by who's doing the measuring. So who measures you? Well technically, the only answer  should be YOU, but we all know that's not totally the case. You're measured by your peers on the amount of generosity and love you show them. You're measured by your boss for how much you contribute to overall profits and abilities to be a team player. Really, the list keeps going. But how do you measure you? Is it that you drive some stellar car or don't have any more loans/debt. Do measure your success in the amount of enjoyment you get out of each day or the difference you can make in a life in 24hrs?

Well, regardless of how you measure you, take today to be grateful for the people who helped make & shape you. Without them you would not have had the same successes or advantages in your life. I'm a huge fan of "actions speak louder than words", mainly because actions I can do, but words, they make me feel all soft and gooey, which is clearly not me. But still, give thanks, show thanks, or just ignore me. Either way, do what you love and be the best at it!
