One key to failure, no?

I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone. Being controlled by the opinion of others may be a  guarantee way to miss God's purpose for your life.

Still on purpose

There are other forces that can drive your life but they all lead to the same dead end: unused potential, unnecessary stress and an unfulfilled life. That's why nothing matters more than knowing God's purpose for your life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing it- not success, wealth, fame or pleasure. Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction and events without reason. Without a purpose life is trivial, petty and pointless.

MANIFESTATION!!!

It's continuing to dawn on me that " It is ours to plan, strategize and aid the implementation of our being and wannabe's but it's Gods' to bring about its manifestation

Our purpose?

One of the easiest ways to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator to explain it.................................In this case the question that keeps coming up is,
Have I asked mine, am I living my purpose?
Rick Warren.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF LIFE?

If you view life as a party, your primary value in life will be having fun. If you see life as a race, you will value speed and probably be in a hurry much of the time. If you view life as a marathon, you will value endurance. If you see life as a battle or a game, winning will be very important to you.
Excerpt from Rick Warren
What is your View of life?

LIFE ON EARTH IS A TEST
LIFE ON EARTH IS A TRUST
LIFE ON EARTH IS A TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT
