WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success is knowing your purpose in
life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit

this, that he understands and knows me. That I am the LORD, exercising
lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I
delight,” says the LORD.
Joshua 1:8

simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors
in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our
disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure. - Jim
Rohn
If you develop the habits of success,
you will make success a habit. - Michael E. Angier
The common
denominator of success lies in forming the habit of doing things that failure
