Me in 6 words... kind of.

For this blog, my challenge was to describe myself in 6 words (through the website http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/). I'm not the most innovative person, so attempting to pull six words out of thin air to create some clever phrase was nothing short of a task. I, silly enough, became self conscious of how my (lack of) wit compared to other authors on this website. The 6-word phrase of the day was "Oh no! I've outlived my teeth!" Come on!! That's clever. The remaining list of top phrases had me chuckling and searching for my own six words.

The process brought me to these final words: Willing to try. Prepared to succeed.

Oddly enough (and I suppose like many web browsing enthusiasts) my journey didn't end there. Next I wanted to see what my 6-words meant to the online world. Google time! As of now, I've spent countless minutes browsing through words of wisdom on success. At the end of journey, with eyes burning from spending too much time in front of a screen, I am touched most by this newly found quote: “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” — Herman Cain.

True that, Herman Cain! Happiness, but I suppose more importantly- passion, really is the key to success. Heck, I don't know one time I dragged my feet through a project, cursing the project Gods along the way, where I came out truly successful. Sure I got the job done, but are they equivalent?

...Some thoughts to ponder as I conclude my day.
