SUCCESS – – – DEFINED

We all tend to define SUCCESS by “favorable response from other people to what we have done.”

We choose our words (even our thoughts) carefully to make a good impression on someone.

We spend time and energy concerned about what people think of us.

 

How can we develop a higher level definition of SUCCESS—and simplify our striving for it?

 

CONTENTMENT is the first step toward genuine SUCCESS.

Formula for CONTENTMENT:  “Having FOOD and CLOTHES, let us be CONTENT.”*

 

Step two—GREAT GAIN is an obvious synonym for SUCCESS.

Formula for GREAT GAIN:  “GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN.”*

 

Conclusion—simple definition/formula for SUCCESS:

GODLINESS plus FOOD plus CLOTHING equals SUCCESS.
