can you buy success?

​Zig Ziglar said that and he was absolutely right! Success. It means so many different things to so many different people. But no matter how you slice it, success can never be bought. Like many of us, I've had great success in my life and I've also suffered great defeats. But when I look back on it, the successes usually came after the defeats. Could it be that we're supposed to have these challenging moments in order to spur us on to greater things? Of course, it is. Those are the times we learn, not just about what we want to accomplish, but about who we are. It's the challenges that define us and make us who we are. When we're successful and just coasting we learn very little. Sure, it's nice to enjoy your success for a while and soak it all in, but really, we should already be hoping the next challenging thing would hurry up and get here. So we can learn, grow and become the person we need to be in order to be successful all over again!
