Loving, being loved, and knowing it. Being able to experience freedom and intimacy at the same time, at least sometimes. A few positive surprises along the way. Dealing with the impossibility of having all of the above, all the time, with dignity and integrity.

I try to judge success by creating value for others. And also remembering to charge my cell phone at night, do my 10,000 steps a day, and remember what city I am in when I wake up in the morning.

[testimonial author=”Peter Fisk” image=”https://thinkers50.com/wp-content/uploads/PeterFisk.jpg”]Success looks like a better world. Which means making real, practical differences to real people’s lives, in small and big ways. Revenues, profits and shareholder value just show that you are doing this in a way that people want, are prepared to pay for, and creates the money to invest in a better future.
