R U successful?


What is success?  How do you know when you are…a success?  Some view success as a destination when the reality is, it’s a process.  Andy Stanley puts it this way: 

   "Success is remaining faithful to the process God has laid out for you.  Certainly there are significant and enjoyable mile markers along the way.  But success is not the mile marker.  Success is not the raise, promotion, recognition, Christian home, or wonderful children.  Those are simply enjoyable mile markers along the way.  Success is staying faithful to the process that contributed to those things becoming a reality.  Unfortunately, we often don’t consider ourselves successful until we experience the rewards."   
From the book: Visioneering, God’s blueprint for developing and maintaining personal vision.

Each new day is an opportunity to be successful.  I may not see many of the “rewards” of success but I know one day I will!  What are the areas you are a success?
