Many people search the Internet or scour book stores and libraries for information that will help them achieve success in life. And for all their searching, very few come away with a clear road map on how to get there.

The most important ingredient required to achieve success in life is…DIRECTION. There’s a biblical proverb that says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

The great motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, says that there are two kinds of people in life — “wandering generalities” and “meaningful specifics.”

Those who have a clear and specific vision – a clear direction in life – are more likely to achieve success than those who don’t. So….

Where does one start in establishing that direction or vision?

Answer: By defining the nature and terms of “Success” and that requires some careful soul-searching, including a deep exploration of one’s faith, priorities, and values.

To help you on that path, I recommend Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life.
