In life;
If there were no tall, there would be no short.
If there were no old, there would be no young.
If there were no poor, there would be no rich.
If there were no big, there would be no small.
If there were no dull, there would be no intelligent.
If there were no failure, there would be no success.
If there were no good, there would be no bad.
Well, I could go on listing but the list is endless.
The point is that what makes it one is because it is not the other.
I could say, whether or not one is successful depends on what one expects.
Likewise, failure or not depends on one's expectations.
In life, we are always making comparisons.
Measuring things relative to others.
Quite often these are the source of our joy or our pain.
Concentrating on these comparisons/relativities is missing the point of life.
It is worse when concentration is on the ones that cause pain.
God has made us all different by his plan and design.
Each one of us is meant to fit somewhere perfectly in His universal plan for everyone.
That is why God made us different.
The REAL success or failure in life is whether you are what God intended you to be or not.
It is not what you expect, and not what you want, not even what the world wants you to be.
The expectation only makes us feel like we have succeeded though actually it is not the thing.
The best way is to measure yourself relative to God's standard for your life.
I wish all you readers REAL success in life: Being what God wants you to be.
