This is a blog I wrote before I even probably found out about the world race. But I really like it so I am going to share it with you!
What will u do with your life? It haunts if you let it. This question crosses my mind probably every single day. Sometimes it screams at me over and over. I wish I could shake it out of my brain. I mean its a standard question that someone would ask a person my age. Definitely a good question to ask yourself. I feel like that question should bother me, yet I’m at peace. Perhaps the feeling of needing to measure up to SOMEONE’S definition of success is tied into that question. So you didn’t go to university? So you work at a coffee shop, and a dollar store and get paid minimum wage? You still live at home? Somehow I feel I might have missed it by the world’s standard of success.
I wonder why there is no across the board definition of success. To one its money, to another its a car and a house, and to another its having a family. Then again maybe its running a business, or working at your dream job. Perhaps its seeing the world, or running a marathon, or maybe its seeing your kids have kids. Then again maybe success to a teenager is getting out of their home town, to the homeless man it may be finding a cardboard box to call home. Maybe success to the terminally ill is seeing one more day.But WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Is it knowing you truly can belong in this crazy messed up world? That you weren’t an accident, and there is a definite plan for you? Is it that there is more than meets the eye when you look at this life? Realizing material things don’t really bring happiness?Or Is it finding out what you thought was success is not really success after all?
So Kiera what will you do with your life? I will answer in confidence…..Give my all to see one more person find the truth that Ive found. To sacrifice. To Love Continually. To offer the hope of JESUS to a hopeless world. To me that is success….but then again my definition of success makes absolutely no sense to half the population, Im ok with that. I have nothing to prove. I don’t need to measure up to a false sense of “making it” in this life….and I won’t.
WHAT IS YOUR SUCCESS FOUND IN??
