Success...? OR Significance ....?

Which one would be the 'best choice'..... Success or Significance ?


The irony is that living a life focused on the pursuit of significance is so much more gratifying than one devoted to the 'never ending' treadmill of success. 
Whatever sacrifices are involved (because 'everything comes with a 'price tag'), tend to enlarge rather than diminish personal satisfaction…. 
Quite simply, it feels good —really, really good —to be valued and valuable.

So, people who pursue significance are concerned with making the most out of their lives. 
They help others not only for the sake of those they help, -but eventually also for their own sake .....(in retrospect)! 
When we use our mental and material resources to make a positive difference in the lives of others, we are rewarded with a keen 'sense of satisfaction' that's hard to get any other way. (Success unfortunately....can't provide it..!) 


Success can produce pleasure, but only significance can generate fulfillment....!

The following sounds like good & timely advice ......
"I expect to pass through this world but once....! 
Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow-creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again....." 


Suggested Considerations.......* We don't have to be famous to be significant.
* Every kind deed, kind word, thoughtful action, is significant. 
* Added up over a lifetime, in God's eyes they make a life both significant and truly successful.
* Wanting to be successful only in human terms, -but rather significant and successful in God's eyes by......... Being 'as Christ' to every life I touch every day. 
........So help me God. 
* Thank God for hearing and answering 'your own prayer'. 
......Gratefully, in Jesus' name, 
Amen.


Shalom !
