What is success?

I love this monologue. It's on the first page of my diary and when I read it, it empowers me and makes me happy so I thought I'd share it with you, maybe it'll inspire you on this rainy thursday morning.

There are some things success is not.

It's not fame, it's not money or power.

 Success is waking up in the morning so excited about what you have to do, that you literally flat out the door.

It's getting to work with people you love.

Success is connecting with the world and making people feel.

It's finding a way to bind together people who have nothing in common but a dream.

It's falling asleep at night and knowing you did the best job you could.

Success is JOY and FREEDOM and FRIENDSHIP,

and success is LOVE <3
