Success & Struggle




Success made me liked by people.
Struggle made me compassionate towards people.
Success gave me a voice.
Struggle gave my voice a heart.

Today, I'm thankful for Success & Struggle...it is always teaching me.

One key to personal growth, I've discovered, is having spiritual fathers in my life who have taught me how to handle both. The wisdom of Proverbs 15:22 rings in my ear ... "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success."

I've learned, in my life short walk with God, that spiritual advice is needed far more than natural advice. Natural advice from people (i.e., business, education, science, industry, etc.) have been extremely helpful to me...but there is nothing like spiritual direction from my spiritual covering (i.e., pastor, apostle, etc.,)...it's a game changer & an affirmer.

It took many years for me to understand this. Now that I know it...it's a non-negotiable in my life & a cherished foundation for everything I aspire.

I speak "ordered" success into your life this week!
