Success Lesson of the Day by legendary musician Stevie Wonder: “Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks...” — What does it take to see beyond your limitations and define success on your own terms?

The line, “Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks vision,” draws a clear distinction between eyesight and vision. For Stevie Wonder, the wording carries an obvious personal meaning, but its wider point reaches beyond blindness. A person can lack certainty, opportunity or information and still have a clear sense of direction. That difference matters at work, at home and in difficult decisions.

It can mean having ideas, recognizing possibilities, understanding people and knowing what matters, even when circumstances make the path difficult. Wonder’s own public career gives the statement particular context: he became a recording artist as a child and developed into a singer, songwriter, musician and producer.
