St Michael The Archangel Church, Ballinskelligs, Portmagee

Don’t aim at success.

The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.

For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued.

happiness must happen, and the same holds for success:

you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do

and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge.

Then you will live to see that in the long-run success will

follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it.
