Success

I have been thinking a lot lately about success.  I feel like our parents generation and our generation look at success completely different.  We see success when we are doing something we love, no matter how much money we are making.  Some of our parents associate success with money and if you're making a substantial amount, then you are successful.  I hate that our generations disagree in some sense because we all have to work together.  That's where I am at right now in my life and I just wish that the two generations could come together and understand each other.  My parents are trying to figure out the same things I am trying to figure out and we are 30+ years apart.  Not everybody in our generation and their generation thinks these things but I am beginning to realize it more and more as I try and figure out my journey.

I want to make a difference in this world and use my gifts and talents in ways that I thought were never possible.  I want to glorify the Lord in everything that I do and make sure that I am pleasing Him and only Him.  When we were little, we all had these dreams for our lives.  These dreams were continued through high school and even through college.  During those years, there is a lot of growth that takes place in you and your relationships.  I believe that the Lord can totally change your heart and take you in a direction that doesn't correlate with what you thought.  This is happening all around us and I feel like there is no greater time for this to happen than right now.  I am young and all I want to do is be rich in the Spirit and live my life for Him.  That's my idea of success.
