It’s an elusive obvious: most people I know want to be successful, yet very few have more than a vague idea about what being successful actually means to them.

So since I haven’t blogged for a while and since several people are bugging me about it, I thought I’d return with a cheery and uplifting message: you’re all gonna die.

It happens to us all in the end. Even Michael Jackson died. (Did you hear?)

So sometimes I think it’s interesting to think about success just one day at a time.

What would it mean to be successful today?

Because my guess is that’s how you become more and more successful. One day at a time.

Though what would be different if you knew it was your last year, your last week or your last day on earth? What would make the day successful then?

And – if that answer is different to today’s “I have no plans to die any time soon” answer – what does that tell us about the nature of success?
