Minister's Moment

If you were asked to profile a successful person, how would you describe them? Think for a moment about people you consider successful, what qualities come to mind? How much do you depend on their status, finances, and possessions in measuring their success? In America, we pride ourselves on achievement. Moreover, we believe that our social systems offer anyone the chance to achieve material success. For the most part, this is true. However, in our culture, there is an underlying social pressure to move up the financial ladder. Yet there is also a natural force which distorts our perception of our climb toward the success we seek. Eric Butterworth calls this condition the “Success Syndrome”. He said, “Under the Success Syndrome we are conditioned to feel that we must always be getting ahead, and there can be no rest until we reach the top. And because the pyramid narrows on the way upward, there simply is no room for everyone in the highest echelons of business. Thus, most persons harbor a secret sense of failure.” Eric Butterworth suggests that we look at this situation differently. “Success is not getting there it is earning the right in consciousness to be there”. He said, “Perhaps we need a new model of success, where the good life refers more to values than valuables”. That doesn’t mean we should not have and enjoy valuables. Rather, we should weigh them against the values we used to acquire them.
 
“Success is not how high you have climbed,
but how you make a positive difference to the world.”
― Roy T. Bennett
