The first is a strong sense of identity, the second is the resolve to keep moving forward even when the road ahead is unclear, and the third is finishing faithfully. I will cover the three in a three part post. This is part one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before we talk about these two qualities, however, we need to clarify what we mean by success.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUCCESS<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Francis Chan once wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don&#8217;t really matter.\u201d \u2014 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazylove.org\/\">Francis Chan, Crazy Love<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That statement immediately exposes the real problem. Success is not only about achieving goals; it is about achieving the <em>right<\/em> goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The dictionary defines success as <em>\u201cthe achieving of the results wanted or hoped for.\u201d<\/em> But that definition raises an important question: <strong>wanted by whom, and hoped for according to what standard?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our culture judges success by visible things \u2014 titles, income, recognition, and influence. These markers are simple to count and compare. But they are not reliable signs of a life well lived. Many people achieve them and still feel an uneasy restlessness. Applause quickly fades when it is disconnected from purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">True success is more subtle and lasting. It arises from alignment \u2014 the confidence that your life is heading in the direction God intended when He created you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Success is not about becoming impressive; it is about becoming faithful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout Scripture, God never rewards people for having the most. He rewards them for being faithful with what was entrusted to them. That distinction changes how we evaluate our lives.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Identity and Purpose<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jim Collins famously wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cGood is the enemy of great.\u201d \u2014 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/76865.Good_to_Great\">Jim Collins, Good to Great<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In business, greatness often comes from disciplined focus. In life, greatness comes from disciplined alignment with the One who created you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A person who lives well eventually understands a simple truth: before you discover what you are called to do, you must understand who you were created to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bible consistently reminds us that humans are not accidents. We are intentionally created by God, formed for purposes beyond our personal ambitions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Psalm 139:14,\u201cI praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Isaiah describes the relationship this way:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Isaiah 64:8, \u201cYet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paul reinforces the same idea in Ephesians:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ephesians 2:10, \u201cFor we are God\u2019s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even the prophet Jeremiah was reminded that God\u2019s purposes precede our awareness of them:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jeremiah 1:5, \u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Uniqueness<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No two people are created the same, and no two lives are meant to follow the same path. When we measure ourselves against others to determine who we should become, we abandon the uniqueness of God&#8217;s design. You cannot become someone else, and they cannot become you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Discovering God\u2019s purpose for your life rarely happens in a dramatic moment. More often, it unfolds gradually through obedience in small things. As faithfulness accumulates, clarity grows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When purpose and identity align with God&#8217;s design, something shifts. Life becomes focused. Energy previously used for comparison or doubt is now directed toward faithful action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jesus illustrated this in the parable of the talents. The servants were given different amounts, but the reward was not based on how much they received. The servant with two talents received the same praise as the servant with five. The difference was not the size of their resources but how faithfully they managed what they had.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Lesson is Simple and Profound.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">God does not judge our lives by comparing them with others. Instead, He evaluates them based on our faithfulness to what He has entrusted to us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Until your life begins to align with God&#8217;s purpose, you may achieve many things that the world considers success. However, those accomplishments will never fully satisfy you. Titles, possessions, and recognition can&#8217;t replace the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you are living the life you were meant to live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">True success isn&#8217;t about being admired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is found in hearing the words every faithful servant longs to hear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cWell done, good and faithful servant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my three-quarters of a century, I have noticed three signs of a life well-lived.
