To be successful we must first understand that we are already great. No matter what you think of yourself right now, know that you are great. You have been born into this world in the image of God. God is great, God is the greatest and God is embedded in each and every one of you. The Key to true success is unlocking that greatness God has graced you with.
Although we are all made in the image of God the vast majority of us measures success in a different way. Some measure it by how much money or material goods we possess. Others measure it by their career choices.
True success itself comes in many forms. It is measured by the state of our emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. It can be found in some families, through the constant pursuit for truth and through the unity and empowerment of individuals, communities and all of humanity.
How we utilize the material world is a very important key factor in achieving True Success. Whatever role we play in society it is important to use that position we hold to help one another grow.
People you make contact with may only come in your life for a minute, a day, a week, a year and some for eternity. Through our journey in life it is important that we interact and do our best to be a positive influence and share the knowledge we have gained in our own personal journey to see that those individuals we meet are on the road to true success.
Society has prevented us by reaching our full capacity of success by attacking the one thing that our success is based on, that is our values. This sinister agenda will ultimately hinder our ability to reach true success and share with those the fruits of our enlightenment.
Our values are under constant attack though our main forms of communication; being television, magazines, the internet and music. We don’t have to go out to look for it, the enemy is already in our home subliminally and sub consciously re-programming our minds to ultimately replace your values for fictitious desires. Our common enemy is force feeding self destruction and teaching us to thrive on it.
Television sitcoms like desperate housewives, or sex in the city place their values on deadly sins such as gossip, jealousy, envy and lust. I cant recall the last time I watch a sitcom that depicts a healthy family unit. The news does nothing but pump fear into us, so that governments can introduce new policy’s for our ‘well being’. The sale of bottled water is prime example how society has bought into the fear industries have created. Access to clean water is our God given right. And yet we are sold back what God has graciously provided for us all. If we do not take a pro-active approach in fighting for our God given rights we are allowing our youth to be born into a world where injustice and an arrested development is the norm and true success a mere myth.
To allow those who wish to distort the greatness bestowed upon is to give up our pursuit for success and transform us into slaves. The ones that are most affected by this are our youth. This is the same youth that will one day be our future……..a future of slaves. Think about it!
In conclusion I would like to share with you a quote I believe sums up true success.
‘At some stage in an individuals life, most people come to realize that inner peace and soul-deep satisfaction come not from fame and fortune, but having lived a life based on integrity and noble character.’ Dr. Katherine T. Smith and Dr. L. Murphy Smith. January 2009.
