What is your definition of success?  Have you really taken the time to think about what success is
for you?  We all have a different personal definition of success.  When I talk about true success I
think of the 5 P's:  Possibility, Passion, Purpose, Potential and Profit.

What would happen if you were open to the possibilities before you?  If you did what you were
passionate about and what gave you a sense of purpose, gave your life meaning and expressed
what you value?  Would you naturally work harder, enjoy it more and have a greater chance of
fulfilling your potential?  Yes.  And of course, having it be profitable makes it sustainable and allows
you to be free to continue and create a thriving existence for you.

So...

1.  What is Possible for You?  Not just going where the road may lead but creating your own
path, being open to what might be, to what you can do, and being open to your way.  What really is
possible in the world... and not limiting yourself, what is possible for you?  (Check out my
Resources
page for inspiration.)

2.  What are You Passionate About?  What do you love?  What ignites you?
("Success Built to Last" by Porras, Emery & Thompson is great book on this.  Think about what
Jimmy Carter accomplished after his presidency.)

3.  What Is Your Purpose?  What Matters to You?  What do you value?  What gives your life
meaning?  What do you want to bring into the world?  What do you want to do with your life to make
it meaningful and something you feel great about?

4.  What Is Your Potential?  Who do you want to be?  How do you want to be?  How big do you
want to play?  Remember, if you do what you love and what matters to you, you will naturally be
more successful...how successful is up to you.

5.  Is What Your Doing Profitable?  Yes, "profit" is money, and it's something more... is what
you're doing profiting you - is it building your spirit, does it add value to your life?
 (Here's an
Adversity Doctor's Secret - the adversity of needing money often causes people to push past their
self imposed limits.  That's a great thing.)

The answers to those questions are your personal definition of success.  If you had all
of these, how would that impact your life - personally and professionally?  What would
that do for you?

I was talking to a friend at the end of a very inspiring conversation and I said, I want to be
successful because I want to have the experience of believing in myself and what I do so much that
I allow myself to succeed... I want to love and believe in my self that much.

What is your mission?  What do you want to do with your life?  What would make you feel great
about who you are?  What step can you take today to start on this path?
