Don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue... as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.
Viktor Frankl, Man's Search For Meaning
Man's Search for Meaning is quite possibly my favorite book of all time. I have read it three times and have gained more each time. I saw this quote this morning an wanted to share it with all of you.
Fill your mind with truth, your heart with love and your life with service...
Banff Alberta Canada 2007
