I was reading my devotion for the morning when a specific hit me like a ton of bricks. Ecclesiastes 4:4 4 And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
I believe this scripture speaks truth of many people. Think about it...if there was no one setting the bar or striving or to compete with...would you really push the way you do? Does your ideas for achievement really spring from what others have and what they do? Would you be content with your life otherwise?
I see kids do it all the time. Timmy/ Dashaun have the "latest" iphone therefore I need it. Mind you before Timmy/ Deshaun had it ...I really didnt care nor did I have a lack.
How do you set your own standard of success? How do you live life by your own rules? I can help.
Begin to define what happiness and success mean to you.
Simple terms.
For instance, Im happy when I can praise God, feel loved, and make a difference in others lives.
What makes you happy?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for tuning into today's "Morning Tea with Inspire Many".
