Did you ever look at a man and say… now there is a real success. Well… he is a success. First of all what do we mean by success? I think a successful life may be described as one in which the greatest amount of harmony is expressed. Many make the mistake of concentrating on the material things. These they may gain, but at too great a cost. Successful in One Direction, they are unsuccessful in others. They are on all sides of us, those who have gained the world materially, but may have lost all capacity to enjoy their gains. It is a good thing, however, to have a healthy ambition in life… to be successful in our calling, or profession, but to concentrate solely on the material spells death to the soul and to all the finer capacities of true enjoyment and happiness. While it is not possible to nail down a definition of success, for after all, each of us has his own goal… I would say, as close as we can get to a definition is this. If at the end of your life, you are satisfied with what you have achieved, you may safely conclude that your life has been a success. But remember always, the importance of the spiritual in contrast to the material. For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, if he loses his soul.
