2. THE ART OF SUCCESS

Wilfred A. Peterson

    There are no secrets of success.  Success is doing the things you know you should do.  Success is not doing the things you know you should not do.

    Success is not limited to any one area of your life.  It encompasses all of the facets of your relationships:  as parent, as wife or husband, as citizen, neighbor, worker and all of the others.

    Success is not confined to any one part of your personality but is related to the development of all the parts:  body, mind, heart and spirit.  It is making the most of your total self.

    Success is discovering your best talents, skills and abilities and applying them where they will make the most effective contribution to your fellow men.

    Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.

    Success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude.  It calls for love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity, poise, faith, courage, cheerfulness, imagination, initiative, tolerance, honesty, humility, patience and enthusiasm.

    Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination.  It is a continuing upward spiral of progress.  It is perpetual growth.

    Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated.  It is refusing to let present loss interfere with your long-range goal.

    Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult.  In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks:  "Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.  Pray for powers equal to your tasks.  Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
