With the world’s economy in the tank, companies bankrupt, ,homes undergoing foreclosure proceedings and millions of people out of work with no end in sight, success becomes an interesting, if abstract, concept. Whatever could be out there waiting for you in the form of success? If there is something there, what are the barriers between you and achieving success?

Dwelling in a World of Faith

Bishop E. Bernard Jordan has an answer to the question “What does it take to succeed?” His answer is that the true secret is based in your ability to live somewhere between a world of fact and a world of faith.

As men and women of the world, we live in a sea of facts. There are things that are done, and things that are not done. There are things that are possible, and things that are not possible. There are facts, and then there is fiction, and in this world of facts there is only so much a man may achieve.

Another thing about our factual world that many people find difficult to comprehend is that society seems to put forward algorithms to explain it all. If you invest money, your money will grow. If you graduate from college, you will a nice juicy job awaiting you in your chosen field. If you put in your time and learn how to rise on the ladder of success within your company, you will come out on top but not without sacrifice.

How much should you sacrifice before it is too much? Living in a world of faith doesn’t ask about sacrifice. Living there is about how you can achieve success while enjoying what is valuable to you in your life. It is about things that bear no price tag like spending time with loved ones and having the time to watch your kids grow instead of spending all that time in a small, grey cubicle on the 8th floor.

In faith, the barrier standing between you and everything in life you care about is your imagination and the belief in yourself that you can make it happen.

“Life is full of tough decisions,” states Jordan. “Some people go through life pleased that the glass is half full; others spend a lifetime lamenting that it’s half-empty. The truth is there is a glass with a certain volume of liquid in it. From there, it’s up to you! Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

Think about it. Are you living totally in a world of facts that are stifling your imagination, or are you freeing your imagination and living in a world of faith in yourself, in success and in your future?
