A lot of people are dreaming and striving to be successful.
Of course, Sino ba naman tayo para hindi maghangad ng ganun? Lalo na, kung nasa sitwasyon ka na walang wala at nag sisimula palang umangat.
Wait wag ka munang mag skip. Let me have your attention.
So, how do you define "SUCCESS"? Does it depends on the amount of money? nice houses? fancy cars? multiple businesses? constant travels? or being happy and contented with what you have in life? I know that we have different approach or understanding about what SUCCESS is. The sad reality is, kapag naging successful kana na sa punto ka na takot kang mawala lahat ng pinag hirapan mo. A good example here is written in Matthew 19:16-23
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
“Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Did you notice? a man came up and ask to Jesus how to get the "ETERNAL LIFE" but when Jesus answered him by saying, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor. The young man went away sad, not only because he had great wealth but also because he was afraid of losing all his efforts.
There is nothing wrong in aiming for success; in fact, it's a noble ambition, especially when your intention is to help others or be a channel of blessings. But remember, walang permanti dito sa mundo maaring mag babago ang lahat as they said "Change is constant." kung hanap mo ay pang walang hangganan only Jesus Christ can offer you an Everlasting Wealth, Joy, Peace, Love, Life, and Kingdom. Kaya kapatid, "You ARE MEANT FOR ETERNAL SUCCESS, NOT FOR TEMPORARY ACHIEVEMENT."
