Drinking eggnog from a wine glass is magnificently magnificent.
Truly, it is!
Before I started to write this post, I was trying to come up with some catchy title. A popular phrase? A funny quote? As titles were circulating through my brain, a thought occurred to me. It was an Oprah "Aha" moment (I resent referring to that!) I was searching so hard for a title, that I really wasn't putting much thought into the content of the post.
It was at that moment that I noticed the parallel between posting......and real life.
We want the titles, and we want them NOW.
Boss. Mom. Superstar. World's Greatest Hockey Player. President. Etc.
There's alot to gain with titles.
For some, it's walking into a room and having automatic approval from at least half the public.
For others, it's money, fame, friends, power etc.
For alot of us, we're not willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears to get there. We observe those who have gone before us and want all that they had sacrificed for, and we want it now.
The people with the greatest titles are not where they are because they desired fame above all things. These people were born leaders, given vision and willing to do whatever it took to succeed. The road was not easy. In fact for many, the road never existed before them and they had to do all the work themselves without any guarantee that anything would work out for them. They did not strive for the title, but for the fulfillment of walking out their purpose in life.
Which type of person are you?
The person who would compromise their moral and spiritual beliefs just to be king?
Or
The person who would sacrifice all they have for what they believed in? A person.....who a title would be created for.
