The world has set some criteria to measure success. You can find these criteria in the world of sport, the woods(Hollywood, Nollywood and Bollywood), in the world of business, religion, academics, politics and razzmatazz.
I love the way Steve Farrar captions it in his book, Finishing Strong, ' ...we look at some guy's build, or his tailored suit, or his luxury car, or his track record of accomplishments, and compare ourselves. We find ourselves wishing we could have what he has or do what he does or speak like he speaks or make money like he makes money...'. The point is external accomplishments can be false indicators of success.
I've come to term with this truth that true success has a lot more to do with WHO WE ARE than WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH. This truth will help us in living a guided life, and not just dancing to the tunes of 'modernism', 'attainism' and 'copyism'. The life of a man does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses,...
Please, don't try to measure up to the world, you are not from here, you are just living here. #Follow after God!
You will succeed!
