There are many people that I’ve met, or would like to meet, that I think of as successful. Not all of these people are financially rich, though some are. Some lead lives of adventure while others lead lives of simplicity at home. Some have found ways to make good money with their own art and creativity. Others make a fine income with what we would call “normal” jobs. Nevertheless, I still think of these people as successful because they have built the life they WANT to live instead of a life they HAVE to live. But every one of these people had to think differently to build this life. They had to look beyond the cards they were dealt, so to speak. They wanted success, but they knew they would have to get creative.
