Since we are human beings, we have lots of differences especially when we are asked to define the word success.
According to people's experiences may define success in various ways. Some define success as having a nice paying job,some as owning luxurious house and cars,some as owning businesses around the globe, some as getting a fancy degree of certain demanding field. And these definitions are born from same kind of struggles people went through.
To me i described success as having great wealthy.So when i saw a rich person in my mind it was a true definition of success. One day i was at home and my mum gave me this book to read called THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE written by Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in U.S.A. The title looked nice to me but at that time i didn't have habit of reading so i kept it in my room for several weeks.
One morning i was in my room bored no electricity and i decided to take the book to read, i guess it was perfect timing God wanted to change my thoughts on how i looked at success. It was the greatest mindset revival have ever received because the second chapter touched the core of my life heavily and that's were my habit of reading emerged. It was titled "YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT". It discussed much about why God created you.
Rick Warren said, that how you are.where you are, the colour you have and the country you are born in, is exactly the real intention of God to be like that. You might be complaining about many things in life but all of those are programmed for your purpose to be fulfilled. One huge lesson i learnt about definition of success is that success is not described by how much you possess like most of you think rather success is defined by finding yourself from within, in other words it's defined by finding your PURPOSE.
When you find your purpose you have found the true definition of success. And great tragedy in life is "knowing you alive but you don't know why you are alive". That's how people live without purpose,they live in the world but miss the reason for their existance. In life you might be working hard to acquire wealth like people do but if you live out of your purpose you will miss a real taste of success.
God created you and me for a purpose. He is not interested about your degree,job or business but he is much more interested with you finding your purpose and tie it to your job,degree,business,family, etc.
Before you go on and start being obsessed by materials as success ask yourself "WHY AM I IN THIS WORLD?", because you are not here to pass time no!..you are here for very important reason and all things you want to possess are just by product of your purpose but not real a purpose. Life of purpose is what God had in mind for each one of us. When you channel yourself to your purpose life to you will be so simple and enjoyable because "where there is purpose there is provision of God".
Today decide to calm down and ask God why he created you cause that's where true definition of success lies in. Remember is this "Living without purpose is better to die".
