This is what Dr Ron Jensen said, Success is but just … we go through life thinking when we have all these 5Ps which are Power, Prosperity, Position, Prestige and Position.
When a person arrived at these positions, will he be called successful?
Success is fulfilment of purposes of life. What then is our purpose and destiny?
Dr Jenson and other notable figures like Rick Warren, John Maxwell believe that we need to fulfil our calling on planet earth. It’s not to live for ourselves get rich and die ‘poor’ not in the sense of financial terms but the impact or legacies one leaves behind.
Look into our hearts and see what and who we have impacted?
In the wheels of life, there are 7 Fs, stands for Faith, Family, Firm,(work), Fitness, Friends, Financial and Fun. Are WE getting most of these with a scale of 8 or more? Hardly because it’s not humanly possible unless the Grace of God is upon us.
When we can master first three things well, we are at least able to taste the road to intangible success. This is important because it relationship build around love of God, neighbours and the self. It will bring about happiness as what John Maxwell said,
‘The happiest people are those who have invested their time in others. The unhappiness people are those who wonder how the world is going to make them happy’
As life is brief & we cannot bring away what we have gained, the best judge is how many people come to your funeral. There eulogy would have to be said and what is said and by whom makes one uniquely successful even after your death.
To your success!
