If you ask any person what his or her ambition in life is, he or she will always start with, “To be successful in...” or “To be a successful...” or something about achieving his goals in life...which is how this world defines success.
So, what is the opposite of success? It’s the word “failure”. No one wants to fail in life. No one wants to be a loser. On the contrary, every single person on earth (yes, even children), want to get what he wants... because once he has this, he equates this with success. What does someone who recently got promoted in his company say? Does he feel bad and say “I’m sorry I have climbed up the ladder of success.” Or does he say, “Finally, I have achieved my goal!”? However, many times, in my experience as well as in what we read and see every day, success can never be achieved by worldly wealth and pleasures.
How can one truly be successful in life? I believe that excellence can achieve you success but satisfaction and contentment in what the Lord has given you are two of the most important attitudes of true success. The apostle Paul tells us about something that can guarantee success. He says that it is “...the most excellent way” (1 Corinthians 12:31b NIV), that it “...never fails” and “...knowledge...will pass away” in its presence (1 Corinthians 13:8). So what was Paul talking about in these verses from the Bible? It is the word LOVE!
If you want to have true success in areas of your life, then there is only one key: LOVE.
May you achieve true success!
