I am amazed at the constant barrage of messaging, advertising and attempts to influence our ideas of what is really important. Very often, myself included, we get caught up in wanting and desiring those things that aren’t consistent with what WE really want or need.

“Be your own man,” a friend would remind me from time to time.”You have to define what success means to you. Don’t worry about what the WORLD defines as success. And certainly be careful not to get caught up in chasing someone else’s neon rainbow.”

Good advice I think.

Getting back into personal integrity requires asking ourselves the question, “What does success, personally and professionally really mean to you?” The go to work ON that.
