Achievement is not fruitfulness (Fr. Ron Rolheiser)

  Achievement is not the same thing as fruitfulness.  

   Our achievements are things we have accomplished.  Our fruitfulness is the positive, long-term effect these achievements have on others.  Achievement doesn’t automatically mean fruitfulness.  Achievement helps us stand out; fruitfulness brings blessing into other people’s lives.

  The fruit that feeds love and community tends to come from our shared vulnerability and not from those achievements that set us apart.
