Success


Our scope for achievement is limitless,
If we believe so,
If we believe in our own possibilities,
And if we believe in God, who brings to fulfillment all our possibilities.

We achieve true success not so much by the things we do in life, but more so by what we make of ourselves-what we do with our lives.
Success concerns as much the definition and description of a journey as it concerns the arrival at a destination.

True success involves the discovery and enrichment of personhood as well as the enhancement of relationships.

St. Brice, H. (1999). Keys for effective living. College Press. Trinidad
