Fred Gratzon from The Lazy Way to Success has a post that wonderfully defines the purpose of life, the meaning of money and the definition of true success.
A purpose in life (or calling) has to be evolutionary. Otherwise, what’s the point? Through your calling, you make a contribution to yourself, your society and your environment.
Check out this insightful post here: What is Success?
Special thanks to productivity coach Matt from the very good Matt’s Idea Blog for first introducing his blog to me
P.S. Fred’s been someone who’s been around the block, from broke to rich to broke to mega-rich, so I’d credit him with knowing what he’s talking about when he declares that ‘that success shall hence forth be defined without using money as a measuring rod.’ I’d give the man a good listen, his posts are darn good.
You can read the fascinating story of his life here. No exact link but scroll down to the first part of the series ‘The Ice Cream Story’.
Thanks to Matt again for the link!
