A Splash of Inspiration

The following quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson about Success may be familiar to you. I came across it again this week and it really inspired me. I hope it is a Splash of Inspiration to you too! Here it is:

Success

To laugh often and much

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition

To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Have a powerful week!
