I believe wealth and prosperity are spiritual attributes that everyone should shoot for, but you can be successful without money.
Mother Teresa for example did not drive a Mercedes and yet she was a smashing success in her own right and lifetime.
Goals and desires are different for all people and have nothing to do with success.
You can decide right now that you ARE successful. No other person has any right or validity in telling you otherwise. You are a miracle from birth and have been designed for greatness. As the saying goes "God doesn't make junk".
Don't allow your mind (low self esteem) to tell you otherwise. Don't judge yourself harshly and be your own worst enemy. And especially don't compare what you have to others allowing that to determine yourself worth and value.
YOU determine yourself worth, not others! You are a success…a smashing success at that, the moment you DECIDE you are.
"Success is more about who you are, than what you accomplish"
If you insist on having a benchmark, use this...
"Success is giving your best in growing to reach your God given potential and using it to benefit and contribute to others."
If you're doing that, you ARE successful and it's just a matter of getting focused on what you would like to accomplish in your life and steering in that direction. Find your passion and pursue it.
If you know that you would rather be doing something different in life and you're not pursuing it that is what I call "selling out" on your heart.
I'm not saying you have to jeopardize your family and up and quit your current job or business, but I am saying you should be working on your dreams and passions at least on a part time basis so that you can eventually grab a hold of it and take it to the highest level you can, since that is what you truly dream of.
Wouldn't it be awesome to earn lots of income doing something you're passionate about and truly enjoy instead of from a job you don't really care for? Some people HATE what they do.
To them and maybe to you, making money doing what you love almost sounds too good to be true? Yet, that's the way it's supposed to be. This is called "turning your avocation into your vocation".
When you do this life becomes easy and enjoyable because you begin to utilize your God given talents and abilities instead of just doing what you're used to. This is also when more money usually starts to flow into your life as well.
One of the best ways to "grow" is to choose to earn a LOT of money because of the character it builds in the process. To accomplish this will force you to uncover and develop your gifts.
Income rarely exceeds personal development ~ Jim Rohn
As this happens you will be a good steward with the money because of the character you've built and you will change other people's lives because of who you are.
The world needs more good hearted people who are good stewards and have BIG hearts AND BIG bank accounts to be used for good.
