Success usually comes...

Success usually comes to those who are

too busy to be looking for it.

- Henry David Thoreau

Everybody whats to a rock star or a movie star or famous, anyway they can get it. The problem is, few people want to work for it. The work ethic in this country has just about reached the bottom. All you have to do is go to your nearest fast food restaurant, and the service is in the toilet. I worked in that industry when I was a teenager. If we had tried to get away with the way they do things today, we would have all been fired!

I believe success comes in all parts of your life, at your career, parenting, your marriage, friendships, anything you're involved in. So many people worry about being successful, trying to prove themselves, stressing over what everyone else thinks. All the time that is spent on the worry and the stressing take away from the true work.

Being a parent is hard. Being a husband or wife is hard. Careers are hard. Life is hard! So why do we spend most days making it harder? We get tied up trying to be the "Success" that we think everyone expects us to be. As I type this it reminds me of another quote that I love, by Steven Tyler. "Life's a journey, not a destination". We need to take the time and enjoy the journey, we WILL reach the destination. If we've worked hard and done our absolute best, when we reach our destination, we will look back and discover, that we were truly successful.
