It was then I knew that success, not greatness, was the only god the entire world served.

Noteworthy Quotes
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

some really "revered" Christian once told me that her husband (also "revered") did a word study on "success" in the Bible and it was never used in a positive light.
guess when she chose to bring that up? right after i'd shared about how much i love my job and the licenses i'd just earned.
didn't go over well with me. don't choose to spend lots of time with her anymore.
anyhow, i suppose success is like anything...balancing the right amount of it, the right reasons behind it are probably crucial.
Kim-
I always thought we all served the god of fear--like everything we do stems from being afraid of something, i.e., we are successful because we are afraid of failure. Does that make sense?
Melanie-
I am working on your e-mail. Also, that chick's harsh... Semantics aside, you deserved nothing less than an emphatic high-five for your accomplishments.
