Sunday's Quote and Reflection

   
                                   
                            " If you do something you love, you can't help but be successful."
                                                                                                                  Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

We are all different so we all measure success by different standards. It may also be different depending upon the circumstances of your life or the stage of life you are in.  As I look back over the different stages of my life, the above quote rings very true.  If I was doing something I loved, I felt successful and most times I was.  If I was doing something because I thought I was supposed to or others wanted me to, I might have been successful but I never felt the sense of accomplishment that I did when I was doing what I wanted to do.  When I am doing something I love, it is never work.  It doesn't matter how long I work or how hard I work, I always feel like it is fun.  Is there something that you would love to do?  Maybe, this is the week to take that first step towards doing something you love.  It is always exciting to see what happens next.

  1. Hi Ginny, this is an interesting post and a perrenial question for artists. I feel successful when I make something that others enjoy. If I was in it for the money I would have gone for a career that would be more geared up for that! ;) Life is so short we need to spend our time whenever possible making ourselves and others happy. I hope I can do that. :)
