Do you think pig has the right idea about success, that it’s the ability to enjoy your day? It works for me. It reminds me of

The secret of happiness is to ask yourself every day:
  (1) What’s good about my life?
  (2) What needs to be done?
  (3) How can I get this done and enjoy the process?

 
and

This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.
—Alan Watts

 
I can’t always do that, of course, but I often can — and even when I can’t enjoy a chore I can practice staying centered, patient, and effective. If I can’t even manage that, at least I’ll learn something from trying.

    I’m guilty of having dropped good money on a certain motivational speaker’s seminar and books/tapes … but refuse to dwell on that now.
