What are you chasing? You're chasing something or, in some cases, someone. The question is what will be accomplished when you finally succeed at what you're chasing? The corner office? A bigger bank account? A faster ride? A new companion? Will you be able to shout "success" based on all your efforts?
Accomplishments. Men chase them like the wind. Sometimes they chase them an entire lifetime hoping that those accomplishments equate to the definition of success. What would happen if you committed your whole life to the pursuit of something that resulted in just the opposite? You don't hear a lot of men going out of their way to announce they've achieved failure do you?
REAL SUCCESS
There is no other season in a man's life that he enjoys more than the season of success. Success is confirmation of the time and effort he has devoted to his daily pursuits. The question is did those pursuits matter? Did those efforts impact something that will remain beyond next week's meeting? Has anyone's life been affected in the process? Did the accomplishments matter?
What men chase and what matters often are two different things. Successful men share similar attitudes and they regularly assess themselves in the most important areas. Are those the same attitudes and measures you & I are using on a daily basis? How we answer that may determine whether we will be remembered as making an impact or having simply existed. Maybe we should examine again what success means and looks like as a man?
