Success

Measuring how successful a marriage is by how long it lasts is like measuring how successful a life was by how much money was made during that lifetime.

Wealth

There are two ways to be rich:  needing everything or needing nothing.

The first way is to own everything.  There is no end to this path because there is no limit to how much you can buy.

The second is to own nothing.  This path is attainable.  When you realize that there's nothing to own, you will then see that everything is yours.

Control

A need to control is often a symptom of fear. 

Destiny

"It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live a perfect imitation of someone else's life."
-Bhagavad Gita.

Perfection and Imperfections

What God has created...perfection.  Our failures to see it as such...imperfections.
