PURPOSE + DISCIPLINE = SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS
“He who embraces too much, holds on to little”.
If you want to live in intense happiness…
1. You need a purpose.
No one can be successful without first having a clear purpose.
There is a saying that goes, “He who embraces too much, holds on to little”.
People who go through each day, without first defining what they want to achieve, are only wasting their life.
Define yourself and what you want to achieve in life. You don’t have enough years to do it all, you only have enough time to do what God designed you to do.
Success to me is: To continuously fulfill God’s purpose in my life and for my life.
What is God’s purpose for your life? Define it, and then discipline yourself to be the best in that.
If you are going to be a pastor, make up your mind and discipline yourself to be the best pastor in the world. If you are going to be an entrepreneur, discipline yourself to become the best entrepreneur in the world.
2. You need discipline.
You need to discipline your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, relational, financial and vocational health.
You need to discipline and control your thoughts and emotions. There are people who lose their job or their good reputation that was built over the years, because they did not control their emotions in a moment of anger.
Maybe, you have met a person who had an incredible potential for a sport, but who never achieved success.
Think about it:
Are you defined in your purpose or have you been embracing too much? What can you do to define God’s purpose for your life?
In which areas do you need to discipline your life in order to be successful?
