Good sir, you are an Athenian, a citizen of the greatest city with the greatest reputation for both wisdom and power; are you not ashamed of your eagerness to possess as much wealth, reputation, and honors as possible, while you do not care for nor give thought to wisdom or truth, or the best possible state of your soul? - Socrates
Philosopher Tom Morris writes, "Socrates' firm belief was that wealth does not bring about excellence, but excellence brings about wealth and all other public and private blessings known to man. It was the state of our soul that was important to Socrates. The inner life of each Person. Greatness of spirit. Wisdom. Inner excellence. When you give precedence to the inner, both inner and outer fall into place."
The beginning of this journey to find success' right place in my head and heart has been refreshing. Three reads specific to this subject I'm in are...
- Success God's Way, by Charles Stanley
- True Success, by Tom Morris
- Celebrate Recovery Bible
I've also found myself deep into some good reads about "thinking." These might be the most important stop-offs.
To that end.....Success!
