The True Measure of Success

"What do you want to become when you grow up?" my teacher asked me. "I want to become a successful business-woman", I answered glady.

This was the scene that I would never forget. It has always been my dream since I was younger. But as I grew older, I came to realize what "success" means in this world. I started to wonder how people define success. Could it be measured by having a big house? A nice car? A wide field? A high salary? A huge amount of money in the bank? It is never wrong to dream about having such but after achieving these, will you be happy? Will it be enough to cover all your needs and wants in life? I don't think so.

I have been serving the Lord since I was a child. I always read my Bible. I attend worship services. I am always present at Sunday School/ I do my best for my God. I got baptized and started to live my life for His Glory. Thus, I wanted to please Him until my last breath.

When I entered College, then I found true people with true dreams. They are all good, Also, the relationship within my family had developed so well. My ministry in church did mature. I personally learned so much in life.

I will be graduating few months from now. I don't ave my diploma yet, but my dream will soon be granted. I believe that I am already a successful woman. I already have a successful life not because of what I've earned but of what He has given me- a heart that knows hot to be content, a mind that thinks purely and a spirit that connects me to my God. This, I know, is the real "success" that anyone should ever dreamed about. When you have God, you can never be a loser.
