Wishing You All a Successful and Astounding 2008!

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, successful and astounding 2008! Clients are always talking about being "successful". "I want to be successful", "I don't feel like I'm a success", "how can I be more successful". It's one of those words that people use all the time nowadays in different ways. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote one of my favorite descriptions of success.

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch....to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" Ralph Waldo Emerson

And of course my favorite quote this season is by Thomas Alva Edison.

"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves." Thomas Alva Edison

Wishing you all a successful and astounding year!
