2. True meaning of success Success can mean many things to different people. For some it is marrying the “right” person, having beautiful kids, acquiring wealth, or being popular. For others it means being recognized and appreciated for one’s talents, whether they be in music, arts, sports, or another field.

3. True meaning of success Young women often pursue success in relationships and the search for security, while young men often look for success through significance and recognition or approval from others.

4. True meaning of success If we’re honest with ourselves, we may hold one of these common views about success. Regardless of how we define it, youth spend much of their time, attention, energy, and effort pursuing success. And we can become very discouraged along the way or even lose hope if we think we’ve failed.

5. Understanding True Success I believe that one of the biggest challenges we face is our misunderstanding of what success really is. Success becomes an idol in our lives that replaces our devotion to God. Striving for success turns friends into competitors and can make us prone to corruption, cheating, arrogance, or despair.

6. Understanding True Success In the Bible, success is not about achieving things. Rather, biblical success is about faithfulness to God.

7. Understanding True Success Consider Jesus. If we measure him by the world’s standard of success, his life was pretty unimpressive. Born from a humble background and under shameful circumstances, Jesus never had a formal education. He never married and never had kids or acquired worldly wealth. While he was recognized by many as a teacher, healer and even Messiah, in the end most people were disappointed that he didn’t establish a new political kingdom and improve their economic situation. Before Jesus’ death even his followers and friends abandoned him and he died a painful death as a criminal.

8. Understanding True Success David’s instructions and Jesus’ life show us that success may look very different in God’s eyes. Jesus teaches us that success is about seeking first God’s kingdom while allowing God to provide for the rest (Matthew 6:33). The good news of the gospel is that we are already accepted in God’s eyes and that He loves and receives us as His children through Christ. We do not need to achieve God’s favour , He freely grants it.

9. Understanding True Success Success then is walking with God and experiencing the joy of his presence and favour in your life. In each situation, you can confidently give your best efforts and trust the results to Him, knowing that “I can do all things through him who gives me strength” (Phil. 4:13). Give precedence to the relationships rather than the result and God’s provision and blessing will follow your faithful efforts.

10. Understanding True Success So,  may the year ahead be wildly successful for you! “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:7-8
