SUCCESS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU GAIN BUT ABOUT WHO YOU BECOME ALONG THE WAY. by J Loren Norris

SUCCESS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU GAIN BUT ABOUT WHO YOU BECOME ALONG THE WAY.

Most of my life I have struggled with the word SUCCESS. I have fought through seasons of living on food stamps and potato soup. I have also held jobs with near six figure salaries and unlimited income potential.

I grew up hearing “the rich get richer and the poor go broke and its the rich peoples fault.” I have longed for and even purchased a “new car” so new it was before the new year began (more than once).

I have witnessed people with no money to speak of, who are loving, faithful and loyal to their friends, their family and even their job. I have witnessed people who are overcome by a poverty mentality who hate everyone and blame everyone else for their bank balance without taking responsibility for their own laziness.

I have dear friends with great accomplishments, massive wealth and huge notoriety who are gracious, giving and charitable. I have been close to people who have more wealth than can be spent in a lifetime, but their marriages have ended in disaster, sometimes more than once. Their children love them for what they give them and their happiness is as fleeting as the morning mist.

Some say money won’t make you happy.
Some say the things money will buy and the things you can do with money, will make you happy.

Some say money is the root of all evil.
Some say it is the LOVE of money which is the root of all evil.

Some people use people because they love money.
Some people use money to love on people.

In the end, when we all leave this planet for good, MONEY WILL NOT travel with us. The character, the legacy, the reputation of our BEING will be all that travels and what stays behind. Be a person worth remembering. LEAVE GREAT MEMORIES! That is the true measure of success.
