I overheard a conversation yesterday. A male voice echoed in the hallway as he stated, "Love is overrated. Who needs it? Certainly not successful men like me."
Really?
Over the years, I've observed many a successful person and 90% of the time, they have people whom they love and who loves them in return.
Seven years ago, Mr. N made a career change. He left the culiary industry where he'd been working for over twenty years. He didn't know what he was going to do next. He never said anything to me but I know he was a little fearful. I did the only thing I knew would help: I loved him and supported him 100%.
If you ask him, I'm sure he'd say where he is today (a numismatist and an executive) is a direct result of my love. Please don't misunderstand my statement for conceit. It's nothing more than the truth.
Love, in all its forms, strengthens us to go out and conquer the world. Loving another person, with all their attributes and foibles, gives us courage.
So go and and love. It's your strongest asset to success.
MRS N
