Success Or Significance?

What's on my mind?

I heard Tim Tebow talk about this and it really hit home.

Success is about you. Significance is is about others. You can and should try to be successful, but when is it enough.

There are a lot of successful people that are not happy. We read and hear about successes that take their own life or crash and burn because its never enough. Significant people make a difference in the world around them. It reminds me that while some may argue that Christ by their standards wasn't a success. He wasnt a rich man or seek fame. However no one, even those who do not believe in Him can argue His significance on the world. How can you be more significant than to be the Savior? Maybe we should focus on the significance part more than the Success part and in doing so accomplish both. There is nothing more significant than leading someone to Christ.

Even if you lead just one, that is success.

Matt 18:12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?
