Living successfully is to laugh often & love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons & the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to be content with much or little, to leave the world a better place whether by a healthy child, a restored relationship, a lush garden patch, a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived and in all of the above situations to be a witness that we can do all these things through the gospel of Christ who strengthens us and the Holy Spirit who empowers us..
This is to have succeeded..
You can find true success by making a conscious effort to live a life that nurtures your values in Christ Jesus..
“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]……” (Philippians 4:13)
