Success

When a man feels throbbing within him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, and all of his faculties say amen to what he is doing, and give their unqualified approval to his efforts, -- this is happiness, this is success.

It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.
