Measures of Success – A Poem

Before Beginning, ask yourself –

“How will I know when I’m done?

That I’ve been successful?”

Others might measure success differently,

That’s their right.

If I choose my problems & prioritize my values

while holding my

talents, passions, & capacities in balance…

things feel lighter.

Action leads to motivation.

Learning is enhanced by intuitive flow.

Where do I have the courage and passion

to jump right in to the first attempt –

with full acceptance that it’s far from the last?

How is it possible to keep the process fun?
