Read IF SUCCESS IS A GAME, THESE ARE THE RULES by Cherie Carter-Scott . . . this is a wonderful self-help book,  but don't be put off by that description if you're not typically a fan of such material.

Carter-Scott will make you a convert as she helps you determine what success means to you . . . and that is perhaps the key benefit you'll gain from reading her book; i.e., it enables you to come up with your own definition and  then achieve it via ten simple rules.

I liked her use of examples, as well as probing questions . . . methinks you will, too, and you'll be surprised about how inspired you will be to achieve your various goals.

There were many memorable passages; among them:

I notice that many people put off doing this exercise [writing one's ideal obituary] because it confronts them with the reality of their mortality. I have found, conversely, that when you really examine your life head-on, you can be painfully honest about what you want to accomplish throughout your life. It is a bit uncomfortable writing down big dreams because they may sound highly ambitious or self-aggrandized, but unless you allow yourself to imagine your ideal life, you can never begin to make it happen. Imagining yourself at the end of your life looking back is a helpful tool to articulate what it is that you hope to accomplish during your lifetime.

The formula to find your path to fulfillment is astonishingly simple: Follow your preferences, and they will lead you to your path. Find what brings you joy and satisfaction, and trust that it will also bring you prosperity. Find what makes your blood boil, and trust that it will also fuel your existence. Discover what makes your heart sing, and trust that it will create music in your life. In other words, find what matters to you, and trust that it is the signpost you have been looking for.

One of the things that my clients and friends both love and hate me for is the fact that upon hearing them express a vision, I immediately ask, "When would you like to do that?" I do this because I am eager to see them have what they want. I know the only way this happens is through commitment.
