What is success?
A lot of our friends and family have shared what they believe to be some of the most important things someone can do to live a successful life. See why they have to say! :) then check out what a living apostle of The Lord said about living a successful life
Craig Gordon:
1) Build your worldview from the ground up instead of from authoritative figures down to you. Can't go into this one enough. It does amazing things to help you realize potential and appreciate yourself.
2) Do what you love and love what you do.
3) Even if there is a pie in the sky, the chance that it will fall on your plate is very slim. Make the pie yourself and you're much more sure to have desert that night.
Julia Greene:
1) Live with integrity.
2) Love your spouse with all your heart.
3) Choose to be happy, no matter what happens.
Kristie Moffat:
1) Maintain a strong sense of personal integrity and don't give your integrity away for any perceived advancement
2) maintain an individual balance between work and personal life, being honest with yourself when setting time priorities. If your family is most important, reflect that in how you manage your time
3) be in touch with what makes you the happiest and define your path of success based on that not necessarily on typical success factors (money, prestige, position)
Laura Graham:
1) Truly impacting someone else's life positively (at least one other person).
2) Stand by your decisions & what you believe is right.
3) Have a good sense of humor!!!
Jennifer Molnar:
1) Care about something. Something important, preferably (people, especially, and God) and more than one, if you can, but if you can't manage that, then at least care about something. A hobby, an ideal, anything...so long as you have something you can care about, God and meaning and purpose can still reach you.
2) Observe & think honestly. I think of this as identifying the truth of a situation--the participants, the motivations, determining the most relevant details as well as those that may be initially hidden or have unexpected implications. Then to parse that information carefully, with understanding.
3) Take action in your life. Deal with facts and consequences like you can do something about them and take responsibility for them. Then you're not stuck.
Noelle Houston:
1) be disciplined
2) know what's the most important thing(s) to you and why
3) don't sacrifice what you want in the long run on account of things you want in the present.
Matt:
1) make what's right more important than who's right
2) don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do/ don't define yourself by what you can't do
3) pray/mediate daily.
Taylor Petty:
1) Work to always follow the Spirit.
2) Eat healthy and exercise.
