Success became the accomplishment of hundreds of intermediate steps rather than achieving a single, grandiose goal. My success at weight control became the healthy choice of food in front of me at a particular moment. I didn't have to control what I ate for the rest of my life; I only had to control what I was eating right now.

The ability to constantly redefine success is one of the surest means of becoming successful. Success is a habit. So is failing. A dynamic definition of success, one that takes into account the reality of the moment, is far more effective in establishing the habit of success than is an inflexible definition.
