 Success milestones at ages...

2-not peeing your pants
12-having friends
16-drivers license
18-going "all the way"
35-having $
50-having $
60-going "all the way"
70-drivers license
75-having friends
80-not peeing your pants

Four stages of life...

You believe in Santa
You don't believe in Santa
You are Santa
You look like Santa

Anyway; it's never too late to be what you might have been. I mention this because I recently interviewed for a management position, and one of the questions was to define my idea of success.  I got brownie points for my answers above! Kidding.
I told them that the first half of our lives we strive to get ahead; doing what we can to move up the corporate ladder, sometimes at the expense of our family and coworkers. Now that I'm in my second half, I try to share my experiences in helping others and to leave a legacy.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; some whenever they go.  I strive to be the former!

Matthew 5:13-16

New International Version (NIV)

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
