While doing a keynote at a conference for one of the biggest companies in the world in the automotive and marine industry earlier this week, I was asked what I consider being a success for me.

I took a pause and responded: “If I lived each day as if that day was the only day that counted for all my life in terms of my work, service/ spirituality, finance, lifelong learning, health, and family, that would be the definition of success for me.”

I added that in the past legacy was very important to me, but then I realized that legacy is a byproduct of what you do every day and every moment. Also, none of us have the power of knowing how long we will be alive, therefore, what counts is today and now.

Every day and every moment we have an opportunity to start afresh and make amends for our past shortcomings, and each day that I am able to follow this mantra represents success for me.

How about you?
