What matters the most?
At the end of the day, how do I know if it was successful? When I die, what do I want to be remembered for?
I recently finished a Business Bootcamp with some lovely ladies on my team. Everything I asked them to do, I did myself. One question really affected me. Rather, the answer affected me. It changed how I view everything I do and where I spend my time.
How Can a Life Be Measured?
The theme for this particular day was Finding Your WHY, so the questions revolved around what motivates us. Frederick Nietzsche said, "He who has a why can endure any how." It's critical to know why you're doing something if you want to be successful at it. I had my team members write down the answers to a few questions including how will you measure your life?
I will measure my life by the following:
- By my obedience to God and fruits that honor Him.
- By raising my boys to walk with Him.
- By using my successes to glorify God and further His kingdom.
- By the difference I make in the lives of everyone I meet.
I wrote those four statements down in my journal, and I've reviewed them several times since that evening. The bar has been set. And now - deep breath - I have my work cut out for me.
