A while back I came upon this
good piece of advice:
To succeed in business and in life you have to root yourself in REALITY.
You have to see the world as it is...
... not as you think it should be...
... or wish it was.
So...
What is reality?
It's what God has revealed to us in His Word!
... It's that He created us in His image to rule and develop His creation...
... It's that the world is fallen because men seek to live independently from
Him...
... And it's that God in His mercy is renewing His creation through Jesus Christ.
That's reality.
And it's that reality we must root ourselves in to succeed wherever God calls us.
