Personal achievement
Personal achievement

Worthy personal achievement brings a sense of satisfaction and happiness. Part of the purpose of this life is to learn, to develop talents, and to accomplish honourable goals. We feel happy when we stretch ourselves toward our full potential.

Often the achievements that matter most are not those that are public or highly valued by society. Some of your most significant achievements may take place within your family as you selflessly serve them and help them develop.

As you lose your life in the service of God and others, you will find your life (Luke 9:24). You are most likely to find lasting happiness in your achievements when you are seeking to bless others.
