Ralph Waldo Emerson offered wise words on how to live a successful life. He defined a successful life as one where we try “to laugh often and much. To win respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a redeemed social condition or a job well done; to know even one other life has breathed easier because you lived.” If we do these things, then we will have lived not only a successful life, but a meaningful one as well.
We pray to the Heavenly God to grant us success in our all of our worthy endeavors, to enable us to walk humbly even as we strive to do what is mighty, may we always learn from our mistakes, and may we be blessed to be able to find meaning in our journey. May this be God’s will--AMEN
