Living a deeper life with happiness

By Abiodun Ifeoluwa

Living our life deeply and with happiness, having time to care for our loved ones this is another kind of success, another kind of power, and it is much more important. Try not to become a man of success only, but also a man of value.

Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in.

A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.

We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world that I am able to change it in positive ways.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again.

Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

There is only one kind of success that really matters: the success of transforming ourselves, YOUR environment, people around you, transforming our afflictions, fear, and anger.

This is the kind of success, the kind of power that will benefits us and others without causing any damage.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.

Basically, this is because someday in life you will have been all of these, Guide your heart, to guide, your dreams be creative and Innovative as youth, be a blessing to people around you.

Success is defined by impacts not by who you pull down.

Our days are numbered.
