     People   strive   to  succeed  in  terms   of   their
internalized self-image. Success means different things to
different  people,   in accordance  with  their  different
internalized self-images.   Superficial success is easy to
recognize;    large  income,   living  in  the  "right   "
neighborhood,  parties with the "right" people,  attention
in  the  press,  etc.   Rarely are those who achieve  such
success satisfied therewith.  They seek the hope and mean-
ing of a more profound success.

     Profound  success  is  difficult to define  and  more
difficult to recognize. Making a helpful difference in the
community  life is not necessarily associated with any  of
the   signs  of  superficial  success.    The   profoundly
successful  person may not be known as such even by  close
associates  ---  yet be one of the most profoundly helpful
persons  known.   The profoundly successful person may not
be  aware  of  self  as such,  and therein  is  a  genuine
difficulty.

     Often  people  seek to accomplish certain tasks.   To
accomplish  each task it is necessary to be able to  gauge
progress   towards   the  accomplishment,   and  make  the
necessary  corrections in pace and direction in  order  to
arrive at the destination, the accomplishment of the task.
Implicit in this imagery is the recognition of  successful
completion  of the task.   Much of the  motivation  arises
through  the  imagination and fantasy of the  self  seeing
self  as  the fulfilled self upon accomplishing the  goal.
The   feed-back   loop  of  perception  of  progress   and
anticipation   of  consummation  is  a  major  source   of
motivation.   If such a feed-back loop is broken  for  any
reason,   and so inoperative,  then motivation is  broken.
Consider   the   consequences  then  of   the   profoundly
successful  person  not  being known as such by  self  and
others---how  then  is the motivation  feed-back  loop  to
operate; or what is to be the primary source of motivation
in the absence of that feed-back loop?

     Self and others need to consider this situation,  and
seek  to be helpful in facilitating enduring motivation to
be profoundly successful in helping others solve the  real
problems  which  are common to all real  persons  wherever
they live in our small space-ship earth.
