So I spent some time thinking about what it means to be successful, and have come up with five essential things worth remembering,
dealing with subject matter that a lot of people struggle with. I hope you’ll find these thoughts to be helpful in your journey through life!
Success
1. No Other Way but God’s Way
God will always give you the best in life. It’s yours. You simply need to open your hands and receive it. Once you do that, you will have something in your possession worth more than anything you could ever hope to gain from the world. God’s way is always best. Follow His lead.
2. Success Doesn’t Define You
Just because you don’t have the measure of success you hope to achieve, it doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It simply means you have a goal to work towards . . . one step at a time.
3. You’re Worth More than That
Just because someone has something you lack, it doesn’t make him or her better than you. Work hard to materialize your dreams, but don’t let materialistic things rob you of your self-worth. You will always be more valuable than the things you work for.
4. Generosity Goes a Long Way
A person’s social status isn’t what determines his or her level of success; attitude does. There’s nothing to admire about those who only live for themselves. Don’t forget your roots. Give thanks to God for the success you have by generously sharing it with others.
5. Accept Your Limitations
What you want to become may not be what’s best for you. Do your best to better yourself, but recognize your limitations. Trying to force yourself into the mold of someone else will only lead to despair. Be content with who you are . . . be yourself!
要记住的有关成功的五个要点

所以我花了一些时间思考成功意味着什么，并总结出出五个多人还弄不清其主题的、值得记忆的五个基本点。我希望你会发现这些想法对你的生命历程是有帮助的！
成功
1、上帝的方式而不是别的方式
上帝总会给你生命中最好的。它是你的。你只需要打开你的双手，并接受它。一旦你这样做，你将拥有价值超过任何你所能希望从世界上获得的东西。上帝的方式永远是最好的。要跟着他前行。
2、成功没有定义您
仅仅因为你没有你希望达到的成功的手段，并不意味着你是一个失败者。它只是意味着你有一个目标要努力...一步一步向前。
3、你比这更有价值
仅仅因为有人有你缺少的东西，它并没有让他或她比你更好。努力实现你的梦想，但不要让物质的东西夺走你的自我价值。你将永远比你为之努力工作的东西更有价值。
4、大器需要时间
一个人的社会地位并不决定他或她的成功水平，而态度使然。没有必要佩服那些只为自己而活的人。不要忘了自己的根。通过慷慨与别人分享，感谢上帝助你成功。
5、接受你所有的局限
你想成为什么可能不一定最适合于你。尽你所能地完善自己，但认识你所有的局限。试图强迫自己按照别人的方式生活，只会导致绝望。你要对现在的你感觉满意...要活出精彩的自己！
