In an address at Regent University titled ‘How to be a Real Success’ John Maxwell, author and leadership expert, offered his insights on success. Following is an outline of what he discussed.
Success is:
1 – Knowing your purpose in life
To discover your purpose
Discover your passion
Find your strength
2 – Growing to your maximum potential
3 – Seeking to benefit others (add value)
Four things successful people do:
1 – Get along with people
2 – They equip (train and develop) people
3 - They have an attitude that is different from other people
4 – They have learned how to influence people
Notice there is no mention of money or material goods to determine success. It revolves around using your talents and abilities, improving yourself and being a positive influence in the lives of others. Is there something here you can learn benefit from?
I think these principles apply in life, business, church, family or any other area you may be involved in.
