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

"There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains. The people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch." Bette Davis

There is good and bad. There is wrong and right. Everybody knows it, many choose not to admit it. Our society is in the process of blurring the separation in an effort to be so-called tolerant, but in one's personal life this cannot be.

Success cannot violate Right. Accomplishment cannot stand on the ruins of good. Success must be built upon righteous principles, good solid morals, and correct ethics.

Mistakes may be made along the way, but correction of those mistakes must be undertaken or the success will be tainted.

I heard someone once say, following being honest about a situation and afterwards suffering the consequences, "I guess that's what you get for being honest." No, that's the cost of being honest and it is different from the rest of the world. But then, did you want to be like the rest of the world?
