I think we would agree that being successful is a good thing but for some reason we often find it to be an elusive and difficult thing to achieve. I believe part of the problem is that we don’t really have a sense of what true success is. There is a common misperception of success, such as achieving wealth, power, fame, prestige, and also those material manifestations found in the pursuit of a bigger house, a nicer car, exclusive club memberships, a yacht, whatever. But once we attain some of these false trappings of success we find we are really chasing a moving target and then want more and more and are never truly satisfied. There must be a better way! </p>]]></description>
