I have kept an infographic thumbtacked above my computer monitor since I started my current job just over a year ago. It illustrates MaryEllen Tribby's thoughts on the differences between successful and unsuccessful people:
Now, I don't know who MaryEllen Tribby is outside of the creation of this image, but her obvious-but-not-obvious points sure do make me want to be a better person.
I'd like to think that one particular bullet point ("Keep a journal") inspired this blog, but that wouldn't be 100% accurate. Credit is definitely due to the inspiration of an incredibly talented former college classmate of mine, Tanya Sylvan, and her publication, All in Stride.

To go beyond Google's definition of "success" as "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose", my "aim" is to always be improving and my "purpose" is to make the world a better place. I hope that the writings I assemble here will help me fulfill both of these components.
My goal with SUCCESSDICATED is to write about things that either have made or will make me a better, more successful person.
