What with major companies gone bust, foreclosures on every block, millions unemployed and the economy in the toilet, it is little wonder that people are looking for a bright spot. What does it take to achieve success in anything? What is standing in the way of success for you?
A World of Faith versus Reality
It was Bishop E. Bernard Jordan who perhaps best answered the question, “What does it take to succeed?” He explains that the true secret to success lies in our ability to live between a world of facts and a world of faith.
As men and women of the world, we live in a sea of facts. There are things that are done, and things that are not done. There are things that are possible, and things that are not possible. There are facts, and then there is fiction, and in this world of facts there is only so much a man may achieve.
Another thing about our factual world that many people find difficult to comprehend is that society seems to put forward algorithms to explain it all. If you invest money, your money will grow. If you graduate from college, you will a nice juicy job awaiting you in your chosen field. If you put in your time and learn how to rise on the ladder of success within your company, you will come out on top but not without sacrifice.
How much are you willing to sacrifice for your success? When you’re walking in a world of faith, the question isn’t about sacrifice. It becomes how you can succeed while still enjoying the things in your life that matter most. Its about the priceless things in life like spending time with your family and having the opportunity to watch your kids grow up instead of being forced to spend their entire lives sitting behind a desk.
With faith, the obstacle standing between you and every ounce of the life you want to live is your imagination and your belief that you can make it happen.
Life is full of tough decisions,” says Jordan. “Some people go through life pleased that the glass is half-full; others spend a lifetime lamenting that it’s half-empty. The truth is there is a glass with a certain volume of liquid in it. From there, it’s up to you! Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
Think about it. Are you living totally in a world of facts that are stifling your imagination, or are you freeing your imagination and living in a world of faith in yourself, in success and in your future?
