My Success Story
How do you define success? Is it the
big car you drive, is it the mansion you live in or a lump sum of money in your
account, or even the job you're doing.
At times we often see success as
material things, neglecting the joy of knowing and happiness we possess within
us.
Each one of us is born possessing a
gift in each hand, but it’s how we use it that determines our success stories.
It is often said that, “my past doesn’t
determine who I am and who I’ll become”, in reality our past, background of
where we come from should be the building block of our success stories. At times
as individuals we tend to dwell on our mishaps and forget that greatness of
life and its path to a better living.
Coming from a disadvantage background doesn’t
mean that you'll also end up there in the future, but as individuals we have to
reshape our mindset, change our ways of thinking and pursue to what God has
envisioned for us. For no one is born to be poor and miserable.
Not having funds to further your
education after high school shouldn’t be the end of the road for you but should
be the beginning of a success story. As mentioned before we are all born with a
gift, and it’s up to us to utilise it. How we do it varies from person to
person. Some of us need to go to school in order to explore our gifts and open
unimaginable doors, while some are more of innovators, who do not need the
power of a classroom to write their success stories. Not going to school is not
necessary the end of the road, hence we learn on our everyday life, informally,
through our peers, within the books we pick up, what we consume from the mass
media. Our learning comes from various sources of life, therefore not having a
degree/diploma to your name that doesn’t erase your success story.
God plus education equals to my
success, God plus using the gift he's given me equals to my success.1John 4:4 “…greater
is He who is in you (me) than he who is in the world.” The power of knowing God
and letting him be the leader the advocate of my life gives me the greatest
advantage in life as I know that he'll be my shepherd the driver of my vehicle.
The pen I use to ink down my success
story is lived through the power of knowing Christ.
LET GO AND LET GOD.
