His view of success doesn’t necessarily include Ivy League diplomas or 401Ks - rather, it’s about accomplishing things that truly matter to each individual, and about being excellent and fulfilled in whatever we choose to pursue. Harvard’s Todd Rose, author of a new book called Dark Horse: Achieving Success through the Pursuit of Fulfillment, believes he can teach us how. For many of us, though, we have no idea where to start to find our highest calling and live according to our fullest potential. Christians are led by the desire to do something purposeful for God, to live out our fullest potential and do just what He created us to do - whether that means making art, solving complex mathematical equations, curing disease, or running your own company with excellence, justice and passion. A successful life lived by a Christian is one marked by something very different than just material accumulation or worldly achievements. Jesus had none of those things and his very life was considered the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the entire world. The world often views success as a very narrow ideal - college degree, good job, big house, early retirement and a yearly Christmas card full of smiling faces enjoying a year of vacations, soccer practices and good vibes.Īs Christians, we know that success doesn’t always look like this. But just what, exactly does success look like? We want our children to be happy, healthy and doing what they were meant to do with their lives. All parents want to see their children succeed.
