Success. With the economy tilting on its ear, companies closing their doors, and hundreds of thousands of men and women out there looking for work, success is a key concept in everyone's mind. So what does it take to find to success? What's out there waiting for you? And what's standing between you and your ability to achieve?

A World of Faith versus Reality

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.

One of the problems with living with facts that is hard to grasp for many is that our culture considers there to be an algorithm for everything in the natural world... You invest your money, it will grow. You graduate from college; you will land a job paying you a comfortable salary. You spend years and years learning the corporate culture and climbing the ladder to the top echelons of the corporation, and you will reach the pinnacle, but not without sacrifice.

What is the maximum sacrifice you will make toward your success? If you were walking in a world of faith, you would know the question is not about sacrifice. It is about how to achieve success while simultaneously enjoying the things in life you most value. It is about the things in life that bear no price tag, like spending time with people you love and watching your children grow instead of dwelling between cement walls 12 hours a day surrounded by people, some of whom you don't know and some you really don't care to know.

When you live in the world of faith, the barrier between you and success lies in your imagination and faith in yourself that you can make your vision a reality.

"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?
