Show Notes:
- In your eyes, who are the five most successful people in the world?
- How do you measure success? How do you define it? What makes someone successful?
- If you knew someone who had millions of dollars but lost his integrity, would you define that person as successful?
- A successful life is one that best fulfills it’s purpose, and the purpose of your life is to glorify God.
Sin isn’t a rule that we break. It’s when we fail to bring glory to God.
- So the true definition of a successful person is someone who glorifies God. And the more a person brings glory to God, the more successful they are.
Success doesn’t look the same for everyone, because the true definition of success is to glorify God, and we were all created to do that in different ways.
- Imitation is limitation. That’s why attempting to copy someone else’s success is unwise. Learn from their success, but don’t try to be them. How has God equipped you to glorify Him? That’s what you need to find out.
