Success is Something That is Defined on One’s Own Terms...
This new jet is the realization of a dream come true! Exciting and amazing! However it’s not one of those dreams that fulfills me. Let me explain…
This jet is an achievement and the culmination of years and years (really decades) of hard work. There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying material dreams, especially when you SHARE them with people that you LOVE.
However, they do not bring fulfillment, and not every dream has to! They can make you happy short term. They can bring you joy and they can bring you excitement and these are all emotions that we should all enjoy in our lives.
However, if all you chase are material things, you will find yourself empty and always searching for more. It will never be enough.
Its our dreams that involve serving, contributing and giving to other people that fulfill us. The types of dreams that involve making an impact and changing other peoples lives. When we are living our life’s purpose and mission, we find PEACE THROUGH OUR PURPOSE . This is what will endure and bring us peace and true joy.
But why not have it all? Why not both ? Have you considered this ?
Conventional wisdom is you can’t have it all. In our world today, most people would have you believe that you need to choose either or . Either you should live a life of service, contribution and giving or you can go chase down material dreams? Ever heard this before? Well I’m here to tell you that YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL. I don’t think this… I know this!
The fact that you want to serve, contribute and give to people, DOES NOT DISQUALIFY you from enjoying some nice things for yourself. On the other hand, because you would like to have a beautiful home or an incredible jet or enjoy amazing travel does not disqualify you from helping people
I’m here to tell you that maxing out your life means that you can and should have it all. You do not have to choose between material dreams and a dream that involves helping people. Don’t buy into the fallacy that you cannot have it all, that life is that limited.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE. You can max out every area of your life ...you can have your dreams that involves Relationships, Family, Faith, Fitness, Business, Money and Contributions. Achieving your dreams that will bring you happiness and excitement are wonderful… But the dreams that will endure long-term are always the ones when you are doing something in the service and the contribution of another person’s life.
The dreams where you feel God would be most proud of you...
I Appreciate traveling in luxury on my jet because I know what it’s like to not have a car (it was repossessed). I enjoy the beautiful homes that I currently own, because I had my first home foreclosed on and I lost it! I enjoy the beautiful lake and ocean because I know what it’s like to have the water turned off in my own house!
Be careful not to judge people whose dreams are different than your dreams. If you’re someone who's dreams are all about the service of other people, be careful not to place too much judgment on somebody who might want something nice that is material oriented … Perhaps you do not know their background or reasons?
For those of you that are very driven people who want to have the finer things in life, do not look down or judge people who spend their entire life in service of others. You are NOT MORE SUCCESSFUL than them simply because you have more money or nicer things. Success is something that is defined on one’s own terms, in one’s own life.
I want to challenge you to both have excitement, joy, and passion… But I really wish you PEACE and FULFILLMENT which will always come from the dreams that involve others . Have it all #maxout

6 年This is the equivalent to an athlete working hard day and night to reach that Mt Olympus called a world championship! That jet is your championship! Be proud of what you’ve worked so hard for! The jets and the material things fade away in time, but reflecting on the journey to reach that championship and the feeling of accomplishment stays in your heart until The Lord calls you home! Thank you, Ed for your willingness and your mission to take people with you and teaching what makes the great ones GREAT!! #MAXOUT!
