John C. Maxwell, best-selling author of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership , begins this book by sharing an article about how people define success. He reveals that most people who want to be successful misunderstand success, that it is an ideal situation incorporating impossible elements. Some want to have the beauty of a Cindy Crawford or the business acumen of a Bill Gates. He redefines success but stating what it is not. It is not wealth, not a feeling of success, specific possessions, power or achievement. He then cites specific examples of well-known personalities who had achieved all these but could still not consider themselves succesful.

He then sets out to present the idea that after studying the subject of success, success knows your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefit others. Then success is a journey, not necessarily a destination. This thinking frees an individual to become a success today and not at some distant time in the future.

You are responsible for the world. Not just your world but the world. Like it or not, everything that affects your life, everything that you have encountered, directly or indirectly, you are entirely and absolutely responsible for. The very moment that you are made aware of it, the very moment you know of it, you’re already part of it. You are a part of the world’s problems.

Likewise, in as much as you already are a part of everything you’ve experienced, as much as you are a part of anyone’s problems, you also are, ultimately, the solution to the same problems. You are capable of curing the world of its pains and frustrations. All you need to do is cleanse yourself of all the negative energies stored in you, love, and trust in the Divine.
