Chapter 6, Disrupting the Routine Mirror Moment
                                                                                                                                                  Will today be the usual? Usual hairstyle, usual coffeeshop espresso, the usual people you call or text? Resolve to have an

                Success is the mental satisfaction that you’ve climbed to the top of

                the mountain despite environmental challenges. The road to suc-
                cess is never a straight line. There are no monetary values that de-
                fine success. Perhaps you may know of people who are cash-rich,

                but family poor. That’s not success. Success means that you’ve
                found the balance that brings you the greatest happiness in life.
