Success
Success comes from achieving a goal or initiative no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to others. In the daily grind, your goals must ONLY be significant to you. Why? Because your goal is not what should be significant to someone else. YOU are what/whom should be significant to another human being. When you are important to someone else, your goals become important to him or her because the goal is part of you.
Here's the thing. We all have things we want to achieve. We all have life goals (at least I hope we do). What we want or desire may not be the same as the next guy. Each life deserves and warrants a customized set of goals. Remember, we are each different although we all share some basics. We live, we die. That's about it. We don't even all pay taxes so that doesn't count.
When I was a young woman, I wanted to be a church Music Director and Administrator just like Michael Flippo. He was my mentor and my guide and his job was my ambition. As I grew older, he moved away and I filled in temporarily. I absolutely loved it! (I still love MRF today! He's one of the most amazing people in my life.) As life went on which it simply does, I did other jobs and other things but my heart's desire had already been established. Life happens. Don't let it get in the way of your true wants and desires. As long as they are consistent with God's will, you are good to go. Jeremiah 29:11.
There isn't a trick to this at all. Your desire must line up with God's will and it must be strong desire. It has to be something that benefits you and others around you and that gives God glory and honor simply by living and doing it.
Success is finding that thing, that goal, and then doing it with all your might. Yes, you will go through times where you may do other things, but the goal is part of whom you are. Your true goals in life are never far from your mind nor are they far from His. Being Music and Administrative Director for a church was my ultimate goal.
I am now living the dream. I'd have to write a book to share with you the many steps it took to get here, but here I am. God has been good to me and I am blessed beyond anything I can even begin to describe. Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow!
What is your dream? What do you truly desire? The tools and ability are here within you and others around you to achieve your God-inspired goal. Decide what you want, keep it consistent with His will and go for it! You will LOVE the results.
Go do it! Success awaits!

What's the difference between a dream and life desire? When do these become a goal?
ReplyDeleteThat depends on you and your perspective. You create your own dreams and if they are strong enough, they become goals. I dreamed that I'd have a house with a picket fence and a boat dock out back. That wasn't what I really wanted. That never became a goal for me. I think the difference between the dream and the goal is the level of passion.
