“Don’t be afraid of a little opposition. Remember that the ‘Kite’ of success generally rises AGAINST the wind of Adversity – not with it!” – Unknown

I have believed many things in life. One thing that is true beyond any argument: Life is change. And since life is change and we live life, we live “change.” Marinate on that one for a minute…

People don’t like change, they like stability. I argue that you cannot have one without the other. To fight change is to fight life. People don’t like change because it is unknown and the unknown can be scary.

The easiest way to deal with change is to learn to adapt and to adapt is to be flexible. In exercise, flexibility is a sign of health. So, since the mind-body connection has been proven wouldn’t it make sense to be flexible of mind? That should bring about good mental health shouldn’t it? It should.

So, life is change. To fight change is to fight life. Live life instead. See the change, be flexible (healthy) and adapt. Have a great week.

Happy Tuesday 🙂 I’m getting back in the blog groove. Got my schedule in front of me and I won’t let you all down. Thanks for reading, thanks for the birthday wishes and thank you just for the sake of thanks. 🙂

I am tired! OK, I know the title said, The Definition of Success but I am tired! I just got home. I had to go get some more food for my diet, I have ice on my left knee, watching a repeat episode of CSI: Miami while trying to avoid taking a nap; I’m tired and sore.

I started a new workout and it’s only day 2. I’m in really good shape if I do say so myself. But, I did spend the last 2,3 weeks getting out of shape so I could try a new program and see how it works. If it works, I will recommend it to you all.

I haven’t blogged for a week because I’ve also been mentally drained. Having 2009 end the way that it did, with great bookings, I hoped that it would continue right away into the new year. So far, 2010 has been slow moving.

I know that things will begin to pick up soon. I have had a couple close calls already but the dice haven’t rolled my way quite yet. They will.

That brings me to my Success Definition. Actually, it’s Napoleon Hill’s definition but it works for me:

SUCCESS: very largely a matter of adjusting one’s self to the ever-varying and changing environments of life, in a spirit of harmony and poise.

That’s quite a definition. How many of us match up? 🙂
