As I ponder this question I look back over my life and evaluate the successes and failures I have experienced. I believe real success comes from having a personal relationship with God. When we are right with God all other relationships are easier to work at. Success is all about relationships. Wanting to be the best you can be in all areas of your life{spiritual, emotional, physical} requires a desire for excellence rather than mediocrity. Working towards excellence is an ongoing process, you never arrive. It is not always easy and you must perservere. One of my biggest battles is believing in myself. I often fear saying the wrong thing {so I avoid conversations} I fear doing the wrong thing {so I avoid taking a risk} I fear failure {so I try to achieve perfection}. I am sure we all battle these things but I am thankful that my heavenly father loves and accepts me just the way I am. My favorite verse is "I can do all things through christ who strengthens me." I want to be courageous and not settle for mediocrity but pursue excellence every day.
