When you think of the word success what mental images or thoughts come to your mind? Do you think of success having the highest paid position or salary, or the fancy BMW parked in front of your house? Do you picture the biggest house on our block or in your village, or having a limitless bank account? Does your view of success mirror Hollywood or Bollywood elites of India or US with coveted fame and fortune?
True Success begins First and Foremost Inside Your Own Heart
Let me tell you something about myself, I don't adhere or subscribe to the world's view of measuring and evaluating success which is very short-sighted and superficial when compared to things in life that really matter. You see, the true measurement of success for a man or woman comes from within your heart not the abundance and accumulation of things in your wife.
You see God sees in inside your heart-which is the real you, your thoughts, your attitude your dreams and aspirations for your life-which matter. Real success is measured by the amount of God that people see in you.
Did you ever stop to think and reflect what the letters that spell success mean?
SERVING:
How much in your life is reflected in serving others first before your own needs? How well do you serve your family's needs, or the widow down the street? Are you a constant taker or do you genuinely >strong>serve and contribute?
UNDERSTANDING:
How understanding are you of others needs, circumstances and situations. If you see somebody on the street in need, do you pass on by thinking someone else will take care of them-or do you stop to see what assistance you can provide in trying to understand not wanting to get involved...?
COMPASSION:
Are you compassionate to your spouse's and or families needs and circumstances? How do you measure up in this area? How do you measure up being compassionate to others either in your neighborhood, village or work/office setting?
COMMITMENT:
How committed are you in being there for your family, your spouse, your parents, or your friends? Do you put your words into action, by doing, getting involved in trying to help others or do you just talk without action?
EMPATHY:
Do you should genuine empathy and concern for your spouse, family, others that you come in contact with and associate with? Or do you try to avoid getting involved at all thinking and hoping someone else will help?
SINCERITY:
Do you demonstrate a genuine spirit of sincerity in your actions, or are you quick to disengage yourself from any involvement whatsoever?
SELFLESSNESS:
Are you genuinely concerned and put others needs and priorities ahead of your own? How do you measure up in this area of your life in truly putting others need ahead of yours? Only you and God can answer these questions.
It's your Attitude not your Aptitude that determines your Altitude in your life.....
Remember: "The only Unfulfilled Goals in Your Life are the Ones you Never Attempt"
