I see people at church who are really big on accomplishment, achieving, and "reaching one's potential", and I frankly don't see much of any of those in my future; it helps me to remember that doing whatever I can, whether at work or at home, as far as I am able is an achievement. Just yesterday I read that whereas our society worships talent and worldly success, character (integrity, goodness, and yes, love) is far more important than outward signs of success.
