Formula for Success... and then some. The top people do what's expected of them, and then some. They are thoughtful and considerate of others, and then some.

And so it is when we do what is assigned to us in our lives and in the church, and then some; then the Lord pays in full, and then some.

My definition of success is total self acceptance. We can obtain all of the material possessions we desire quite easily, however, attempting to change our deepest thoughts and learning to love ourselves is a monumental challenge. We may achieve success in our business lives but it never quite means as much if we do not feel good inside. Once we feel good about ourselves inside we can genuinely lend ourselves to others.
