Live Your Purpose, Grow Through Challenges, And Have Joy = Success is the harmony of purpose, resilience, and joy. When you understand your purpose, persevere and grow through challenges, and find joy in the journey, you will find success.
Find Your Purpose = Success is knowing your purpose in life. Until we know why we are here, how can we know if we are successful? Our calling or mission demands that we know what our purpose is. You can find your purpose by figuring out what your passion is and what your strengths are. There are two great days in a person’s life: the day they are born and the day they discover why.
Your Highest Return Comes from Your Strengths | MWM
Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our maximum potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, and know what your strengths are ... Then focus your time and energy on those strengths. Grow in the areas where you are gifted. Grow into tomorrow.
Be Externally Focused = Success is about sowing seeds that benefit others. This means constantly and intentionally adding value to other people—being externally focused. Invest in yourself so that you can invest in others. Do you sow seeds for the benefit of others?
Pour Into Others = Success is sowing seeds that benefit others. As we are living our life, are we sowing seeds and adding value to others? By having an external focus and adding value to others, the return is far greater than you can ever imagine. But, you will only get this return if you give into others.
By Adding Value to Others, You'll Find Success! = As you are living your life, are you sowing seeds that benefit others? Are you adding value to others? Are you making others feel better? If you help others, add value to others, and are intentional with others, then there will be more that will come back to you—success—as you continue to pour into others. The seeds you sow give back to you. You’ll always find success in adding value to others.
Understand Your Purpose = What is success? Success starts with understanding your purpose. You can’t know if you are succeeding in life, until you
know why you are here. You can discover your purpose by thinking about your passions and strengths. What are you gifted in? What are you passionate about?
Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, know what your strengths are, and focus your time and energy on growing in those areas. You get the highest return in life from doing what you are good at.
Be Externally Focused = Success is sowing seeds that benefit others. Are you constantly, intentionally adding value to other people? Think of others. Be externally focused instead of internally focused. There is a reaping and harvest that will come back to you when you pour into others. Invest in yourself so you can invest in other people. ================
Success isn't a destination we reach in a day. It's a journey that requires consistent effort and perseverance. So let's be intentional about our goals and choose to embrace the uphill battle, knowing that each step brings us closer to our dreams.
Change Is In The High Road = Life change really happens on the high road. When you take the high road, you turn the other cheek, are kind to those who are not kind to you, and go the second mile. When you travel through life, travel high, travel long—go the second mile.

Philippians 4:13 ESV I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

James 4:10 ESV Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Matthew 6:25-33 ESV “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

One Step At A Time = The path to success is having good direction in your life. Just because you are moving doesn’t mean you are moving the right direction.

Are you heading in the right direction?
Ask For Directions = People are thrilled to help and share their knowledge when others ask for directions. There is something wonderful about giving directions and something humbling about asking for them. If you don’t know where you are going, when you get there, how will you know where you are? Do You Show the Way or Go the Way? | MWM https://youtu.be/2jgqCLw_X94
Don't Just Give Directions—Walk With Others = People lack direction—walk with them. If you want to help a person, you don't just give them directions, instead you take the journey with them. Exceed their expectations and walk along the journey with them.
Don't Just Give Directions, Take The Journey = In life you will find that most people lack direction, and if you want to help them, don't just give them directions, walk with them and take the journey. Average people will point their directions, but exceptional people will take you to the destination. If you find someone that needs a little direction, take some time with them and go on the journey, it’ll be amazing what you do for them.

Go Out And Live Life = The two greatest days in your life are the day you were born and the day you realize why … But most people don’t know what their purpose is. If you don’t know, don’t use that as an excuse not to do anything. Go find your purpose. Go out and make a glorious mess of lifeas you experiment. Go try things and live life! Find out what you like and don’t like, and have fun with it. In the absence of knowing what your purpose is, set goals and have fun going after them, learning and growing in the process.

Are you questioning the path you are taking? Take a step back and remind yourself what your passion is. Then, let your passion light the way on your journey to discover your purpose.
