Thought for the day

"God-thinking doesn't measure success like worldly thinking. Worldly thinking measures success by destination - conquering all obstacles at any cost to reach the goal. God-thinking measures success by direction - the direction we are in, in the pursuit of our goal or dream.

Think about this: Success is not found in acquiring a new car. Success is found in the honorable pursuit of a new car, by hard work, planning and saving.

Success is not found in knowing more than others. Success is found in the distribution of what we know while in the pursuit of more knowledge.

Success is not found in having wealth. Success is found when there is a fair exchange of talent or hard work for the wealth.

Success is not found in having more, (at any cost). Success is found in the rightful accumulation of what we have, through honesty, integrity and wisdom.

Success is not found in being the greatest tennis pro, boxing pro, or football pro. Success is found in reaching excellence without demeaning others - by helping others along the way - by being kind and generous to our competitors.

Success is not found in the apprehension of our goal - But in the honest pursuit of that goal.
