Success #2
So how in the world do we succeed?
Is it right to have a drive to excel?
James and John (The sons of Zebedee) went with their mother (wife of Zebedee) to Jesus and asked to sit at his right hand and at his left. This was a big deal and Jesus told them that he couldn't grant that privledge. But, he didn't scold them (or Zebedee who wasn't even present) for trying. He just told them how to succeed in his economy: "Be the sevant of all."
So really success is being the servant of all. Steps to success are being the servant of some around you?
I see very little way of serving mankind as a whole other then creating a cure for cancer or better yet taking the sins of the world on my back and redeeming those that are bound by that sin.
Any ideas?
