SUCCESS: S*U*C*C*E*S*S- Spirituality

Accepting that there are things outside the things you can see and touch, surrendering to the thought that there is a spiritual side to things, or acknowledging that there is a greater good than just yourself gives you an incredible source of power. It is now the ability of taking what was God- given and making it greater.

When you start to feel accountable for your actions beyond an IRS audit, beyond the approval of your friends and family, and beyond the acceptance of your own whimsical moral acceptance- you start to truly feel successful. Money value no longer matters. Mountain heights no longer matter. Accolades, awards, and titles no longer matter.

There are no lies to tell, no deceptions, and no explanations. Your actions will stand bare naked to the one who matters most. The one from which you accept the spiritual laws. Are you able to proudly stand in front of your success? Your methods, intentions, and motivations will not be a private matter. On the spiritual side- there are no secrets.

Did you stretch? Did you grow? Did you become better than you were? Does God agree? These are the intangibles. These are the things that make one happy. These are the things that make success feel like success.

The feelings of successfulness, of happiness, and of accomplishment are feelings. They can not be awarded, granted, or even seen. They are feelings from within and from within they must be earned.
