Success

By Sister Karen Williams

Success is not a bigger paycheck, a nicer car, the fanciest house, the prettiest wife or having the most sought after job, but rather.... It’s character, honesty deep down. It’s doing right when it means denying yourself, it’s sacrificing for those you love. Success is watching your children make right choices, it’s trying again because you believe in Someone greater than yourself. It’s laying your head down on your pillow every night knowing you did what was right. Success means giving your life for a cause greater than your own. It’s never giving in, or up or out. Success is deep....real deep. It’s winning when you lose, and loving when you hate. Success is overcoming evil with good, and not giving into your impulses. Success is choosing what’s right over popularity and popular opinion. True success is rooted in who you pattern yourself after and who you look to for your belief system. Success is found in the very fundamentals of your heart.... The core of who you are.... It’s realizing that little is much and much is often too much. Success is making the choice to succeed, not by definition of any other than the One and Only person who matters the most...Jesus Christ. And that my friend, is success. May we all experience true success in 2016!
