The Real Success

How do you measure success?

Let's say you had lot of money. Anything you wanted, you could buy. Now, you'd probably have a pretty long shopping list. And with all that money, many people would say that you are successful.

But what about the other list? The real list of things that money can't buy. The list that comes from the heart. The real list that probably includes: you long to be loved; you want your family to get along; you need to be accepted just the way you are. And you want the hole in your heart filled.

Too often the standards for success are measured by the level of education we have attained, the amount of money we have in the bank, the size of our house, or how much material possessions we own.

Education is important; we should go for all that is available to us. And there's nothing wrong with a good job and wealth. But in reality, it is how we treat others and what we do with our education and money that people will remember long after we are gone.

Real success can only be measured at the end of our lives by how we used what we had to serve society and honor GOD. This is the only success that can never be taken away from you.

So work for the real success......success of the heart.
