Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..."
How do you measure success?
-Have you dropped everything to help a friend in need?
-Did you do any favors today for complete strangers?
-Have you recently listened to someone else’s story without talking about yourself?
-Have you spoken up against friends, family and authority figures that were in the wrong by their words or actions even when it was hard to do so?
-Have you kept silent when you knew you were right, knowing that an argument would be useless?
-Have you been patient, compassionate, and gentle toward those who have wronged you?
The point is not that one measure of success is any better or worse than another; the point is that you get to choose how you define it for yourself. Recognize that the more conscious and deliberate you can be about what success means for you, the more blessed you will be to pursue the path that’s right for you.
