success

I really dislike publicizing myself.  Not only is it a daunting task, but it makes me feel like I'm imposing myself on others who may not even appreciate what I am trying to do.  Sometimes I feel like quitting, and it's on those days that I have to consider the definition of success.

I have heard many people describe success as "achieving a goal".  While this is certainly true, that "goal" must be clearly and specifically defined in order for such a definition to be useful.  Here are some common goals for which people strive: "making money", "gaining followers", "feeling good", "not getting caught" and "public awareness".

Sometimes I am unsure what my goals are, and at such times, I am never successful.  It's only when I understand for what I'm aiming that I shoot straight and get results.  Interestingly, I have realized that the results can not define my success.  I am only responsible for doing my part, and doing it to the best of my ability.  I have found that this is the key to success.
