I am a little closer to the black line that separates the green and red. I can accept change but I am not a big fan of change, if it is not broke why fix it.
I can forgive others but they have to earn back my respect and
I complement when complement is due not for appeasement to avoid conflict. Other than that, it is about right.

What happens when you're kind of middle of the road? You talk about ideas and about people? You watch tv and read every day? You forgive some people and not others? A bit too black and white, don't you think?

Yes!!!! The above says it ALL ~~~~

It's not only about successful vs unsuccessful people, but also HAPPY vs UNHAPPY people!

I like your wording better!

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Most of mine is in the green.... I read every day, but I also watch TV every day..... and I don't embrace change. I don't fear it either, I just don't really like most of it.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

So, for this to make any kind of sense whatsoever, you first need to define "success". The word means nothing without context.

I don't consider watching TV being unsuccessful. You can learn lots by watching TV. I must say I watch it more now that I am retired. But I also have books around to read, do crosswords and play computer games. I think these are all important to keep the brain active. I go between green and red in some of those mentioned. But that doesn't make me a failure.

I wish I could pass around a bottle of happiness and "success".. I wish I could get you drink it..I'd give it to you for free..

But if you think happiness and "success" is something you can 'buy" more of..... With money in your pocket and with an empty heart.. You're just fooling yourself.. There is NO goal of being Successful and Happy.. You can't go and get it.. You can't make it happen. You can't buy it, or sell it.

For me there are two thing that make me think I'm happy and successful... they happen within the first moments, I wake up in the morning..
First that I woke up on the right side of bed, and not the wrong side of the ground.
Second , the feeling I get from taking that first leak, and then ....turn to look into the mirror.. and not disgust myself..... what happens the rest of day, well, that simply doesn't make me happy or successful...It only adds to it, or subtracts from it. So if I start my day, and haven't disgusted myself. then I'm already there.

The bottle I would pass around would tell you this....The fear of being unsuccessful or unhappy.. Is meaningless.. Happiness and success are where you find it, not where you "get it"....... For being unsuccessful.. defines your success, and being unhappy defines your happiness.

    Quoting  :

It was never meant to be a political comment or a about a political person...I wasn't really addressing anyone, but myself..I would hope each person, tries on the shoe to see if it fits...

Happiness and success really have no measure....but what each of us gives it, to ourselves.
Those that choose to measure it for themselves and others.. will never find it...
