Success: The Journey

Success is not a destination …
it's a journey.
The destination is at best …
the journey's end.
Success is an unequaled
moot equation
unless avidly PERSUED
when you begin.
The starting line is never known …
(much less defined);
so, some don't know exactly
where to start.
To be successful, one starts early …
or risks being left behind.
If you want to make your mark …
then play it smart.
Enjoy the journey … start to finish,
live life fully every day …
at each landmark
heed the message wisdom sends.
As you grow in strength and stature …
you will surely understand…
success should not be gauged in money …
BUT IN FRIENDS!

Success a journey..
Just likeLOVE IS HARD WORK. and not a romantic pillow.

These words are true gems to be held on to!

Appreciate the insight you elequently put in this poem. It is evident that you are not just speaking empty words, but that you are speaking from what you have learned through your experience. Poems like these can be of huge importance to other's who have not come to these same realizations. I think, in the end, we will all come to the same realizations about life, it's just that some people pay attention and learn faster than others, who don't.
Success is not a destination …

This was my favorite part of the poem. I really identify with the line, "The starting line is never known...much less defined"----I think that is a realization that you can only come to, after you've lived for a long enough time to be able to look back......You have to have the perpective to see it. And also, the main point, that the journey is the destination is very wise, because if we live our lives trying to get somewhere then we will never pay attention to where we are, and we will miss out on life, because once you realize that you've been trying to get somewhere your whole life, you are too old to go back and change it.
Be True,
