Success

Success is the magic that floods my efforts with satisfaction. But success is never a guarantee, because there are so many variables that play into my ideal outcome.

We all seek quick success. We pursue individuals whom we deem "successful." Likewise, we run from our failures and are embarrassed to admit them.

The Torah definition of Hatzlacha is well beyond the conventional understanding of success. An insight from the narrative of Eliezer going to find a match for his master.

True success isn't up to us. A lesson from Eliezer's quest to find a wife for Yitzchak.

"How do we break 'out of the box' and not end up like Mr. Smith, suggesting dumb ideas to the fisherman? Jethro, our parshah’s titular character, knew the answer"

The distance between dreams and reality is discipline. Today's perseverance is tomorrow's success.

When your success is linked to the success of others, you have a greater chance of success because you’re working for the common good.
