The success you have had in your professional life could make you feel a greater sense of accomplishment today. Perhaps you have been able to do well in the business aspect of things or you have a great ability to gain acknowledgement in your career. These feelings that you have made gains in your life could make you appreciate the abundance that surrounds you. This may be a good time, in fact, to take stock of everything you have been able to achieve in your life up to this point. For instance, you can take a few minutes to look around you today, making a mental inventory of the things you have in your life and making certain to recognize that it is not only the material aspect of your life but also your relationships with others and with your own spirit that makes it rich.

Real prosperity comes if we are grateful for everything that we have. Although at first success might seem sweet and something to be desired, it is really only when we understand just how blessed we are that we can truly realize that we have attained everything we wish for; otherwise, our feelings of success are limited to the short-term material gains we have. Seeing our lives in this way, we will better understand that the true measure of our success is in how we perceive it. Your understanding of the blessings you have in your life will make you feel the true value of your successes today.
