Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Success! This is something everyone desires, though we may all have very different definitions of success. If you're listening to marketing pitches, success is usually equated to money and a big something or other... (house, car, boat, bank account, etc.). If you're reading romance novels, then success is Prince Charming or the most perfect wife or partner.
And what about in personal growth circles? How would success be defined? Some might say that inner peace and joy would be success. Others may say that having a strong spiritual connection to a Higher Power is being successful. And some that having loving relationships, whether with a mate or partner or with friends, and/or with neighbors and co-workers, is being successful. Or, possibly success is loving yourself unconditionally and seeing the best in everyone around you -- including yourself. Or perhaps being healthy, and your loved ones being healthy, is success for you.
We each all have our own definition of success, and it will probably change as we experience life and change ourselves. This week, we bring you articles by a variety of authors with different perspectives of success - on personal, emotional, spiritual, political, and/or planetary levels...
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
