John Wooden's Definition Of Success

“Success is peace of mind as a direct result of self-satisfaction that comes in knowing that you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.” – John Wooden

It's a classic from the 10-time collegiate basketball champion coach.

Success isn't about gaining something at another person's expense. It's not about reaching a certain level of measurable result. It's simply about doing your best.

On our deathbed, will we look back fondly - with "self-satisfaction" - upon how we spent our time here? If not, then what small step can we take today toward that peace of mind?
