Seek significance for success. Not success for significance . Success ebbs and flows with the economy... (Economy takes a turn? So does your success.) Success ends the day you die. Success is never enough (financial success will never satisfy the inmost desires of our soul). Significance always lasts (it will outlast you). Significance carries on (keeps on giving). Significance satisfies our soul (makes us confidence that we lived a valuable and fulfilling day).
Focus on living with character, integrity, and morality. Focus on people, not dollars. Start with one person; yourself. Significance is not dependent on success.
Success is often confused with excess. We desire lasting significance and influence and impact but spend time chasing temporal possessions. Excess is an unintended goal of a consumerist economy.
We long for something greater than material excess. Our hearts define success differently. We desire significance. We desire influence. We desire freedom and opportunity (not only for ourselves but others).
