Last week I found myself watching TV in the morning - something I rarely do. I happened to watch an interview on Doordarshan where an expert on Vedanta talking about personal excellence. Success is what anticipated as a result of pursuing excellence. And of course, the success is measured in material terms.
I want to share a quote by Viktor Frankl, which appealed to me.
"Success is an unintended side effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself."
Sometime I am confused while setting goals or figuring out if I should make commitments that take up time but are not financially rewarding. All actions cannot advance material gains but when you do something for a higher purpose, the actions are great leaps that increase your value, not in terms of money but in self-worth.
