How do you define success?
How would you define success? Being the richest? Smartest? Most talented? Reaching your goals? Many people would give you many different answers. But the best definition I ever heard comes from teaching that I've heard my dad give many times as a youth pastor and senior pastor. I am not sure if he came up with it himself or heard it from someone else, but he defines success as "being where god wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do, at the right time, with the right attitude". I love that definition. Think about it. No matter what, if you are where God wants you to be, you are in the right place. If you are doing what God wants you to do, you cannot be doing anything better. If you wait for God's timing, and don't try to do it on your own, you cant go wrong. And if you adjust your attitude and align it with God's your heart motive will be right.

Great Post especially for those of us who do not appear successful by the world's standards! This has always been a source of inspiration and strength to me. All that matters at the end, whether you are a Noah, preached 100 years and won 8, or a Jeremiah, preached all those years and won 1, or a Jonah, preached once and saw a city saved, or a Jesus started with 12, grew to multitudes and ended with 120, is hearing the words "WEll Done, my good and faithful servant!"
