Who in heaven’s name created the
idea that success has to do with currencies and jewelry? Lots of people are
loaded of that stuff but can hardly be called successful …
You are a success when you clearly
understand that failure is an event, not a person – that yesterday ended last
night, and today is a brand-new day.
You are a success when you know that
a success (a win) doesn’t make you and that a failure (a loss) doesn’t break
you.
You are a success when you have made
friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about
your future.
You are a success when you are
filled with faith, hope, and love and live without anger, greed, guilt, envy,
or thoughts of revenge.
You are a success when you are
mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus from your rights to
your responsibilities.
You are a success when you know that
failure to stand for what is morally right is the prelude to becoming a victim
of what is criminally wrong.
You are a success when you are
secure in who you are, so you are at peace with your Creator and in fellowship
with others.
You are a success when you have made
friends of your adversaries and have gained the love and respect of those who
know you best.
You are a success when you
understand that others can give you pleasure but that genuine happiness comes
when you do things for others.
You are a success when you give hope
to the hopeless, love the unlovable, and are pleasant to the grouch, courteous
to the rude, and generous to the needy.
You are a success when you can look
back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with
gratitude.
You are a success when you know that
the greatest are those who choose to be the servants of all.
You are a success when you
recognize, confess, develop, and use your given physical, mental, and spiritual
abilities for the benefit of others.
You are a success when you know that
you have been a good and faithful servant of the Creator of the universe.
The Essence of Success: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and
lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct your paths. (Prov. 3: 5-6)
