If one were to base their definition of a successful person on what is seen and heard in advertising, movies, television, etc, not very many of us would feel like a success. I prefer to base my level of success on a writing by Ralph Waldo Emerson. If I go by the following, it would seem I am doing alright!
This has been on my refrigerator since the day I found it, and I refer to it often in order to keep out the noise from the world that wants me to feel like a failure. So next time you are doubting whether or not you matter, compare yourself to Emerson's definition of success, not that of society.
