Abstract
tured to understand that human behavioral change is an ongoing process, the content of which varies greatly from one person to another. It might be better and more realistic to focus on the process than be obsessed about putative ends. In this way, success is an incremental reality, achieved gradually by any number of small steps and missteps. To arbitrarily choose a moment in time and believe that by this or that point, an individual should have accomplished what he/she set out to do, is arrogant and ignorant. Mother Teresa of India, after winning the Nobel Prize, was interviewed by an eager reporter, who kept focusing on Mother Teresa’s accomplishments. Finally, Mother Teresa said: “My job is not to be successful; my job is to be faithful” (Desmond, 1989). Success or failure may not be in our power to determine, but our fidelity to what may improve our lives or the lives of others may be the real measure.
