The road to success is filled with disappointment, frustration, stress, anxiety, failure, problems, risk, heartache, sacrifice, loneliness, adversity, and letting go of dreams. Not a pretty picture. So why begin the trip? It is also filled with achievement, satisfaction, happiness, contributing to the lives of others, personal growth, valuable life lessons, recognition, peace, harmony and freedom.

 The journey that each of us takes, as we travel through life day by day, is our own personal statement of the meaning and purpose of our life. We leave behind a legacy of value or of nothingness, and the choice is up to each of us given the variety of decisions, actions and choices we make along the way. None of us was given a written guarantee at birth that we would leave behind either of the above.  We create our destiny one day and one choice at a time.

 The old cliché says, “life is a journey, not a destination.” Success is also not a destination – but a moment-by-moment trip through the stuff that life throws on our path. This journey that each of us takes is a very personal one and does not deserve the judgments, opinions, or interpretations of those around us.

 I am often reminded of that great old Sinatra classic – yes, you guessed it – “My Way.”  This title is often referred to those of us who take a different path, have a different outlook or even seem a little off the wall as we move into our personal futures. However, when you really look at it, each of us does it ‘Our Way” – even if our way is what the crowd expects, wants or forces us to take. 

Many people feel like they are stuck along the path to success. They reach mid-life and have a crisis because they haven’t done enough, seen enough, learned enough or become enough. Others have done more than most of their fellow travelers will ever do and still feel unfulfilled. What a paradox! When it is all said and done and our life comes to an end, your achievements won’t matter a bit if you have not helped your fellow man in some way during the trip. 

Success is not about accumulating, but sharing; not about power, but humility; not about fame, but compassion; not about money earned, but money given; not about accumulating, but becoming; not about position, but being a servant; and not about learning, but teaching. 

Success, and the degrees we achieve, are up to each of us. Every one of us can teach someone something. We can all share a little of what we have with someone less fortunate. Every one of us can be a servant and not the master. And all of us can learn to understand that if success is about stuff – power, fame, ego, money and influence – we will never be satisfied with whatever we get, we will always want more. 

I do not mean to imply here that these things in and of themselves are not good or worthy goals. I am only suggesting that once you have them – if they are how you define success, you may never be able to quiet that inner urge for more and bigger.

• Create your own future. Imagine this: Your finances are exactly where you want them, your family and personal lives make you happy, your health and fitness are ideal, and your calendar and daily schedule are exactly the way you want them. Yvonne will show you why such a future is within your reach and how you can make it happen.
  
  
• Clarify your values. Describe your picture of the ideal person, the kind of person you would most want to be if you had no limitations. Yvonne will show you the ways to get crystal clear on that. Only then will you be able to achieve results that will bring you fulfillment.
  
  
• Determine your true goals. If you could have anything you wanted, what would you wish for? Yvonne will give you some simple exercises that will bring to light what you should really be focusing on. Otherwise you could waste years "chasing the wind," as the saying goes.
  
  
• Discover your purpose in life. This is one goal that will help you achieve virtually all your other goals in life, and it must have four characteristics in order to work.
