The Success Formula
David Falk
Over the years, I have read a vast amount of motivational and leadership material. My bookshelves are filled with the anecdotes of successful men and women in areas such as sport and business. Certainly, many helpful ideas on mentoring, motivating and leading people can be found in their writings. However, there is one vital principle that is missing. I believe it is our ‘failures’ that define us, not our successes. The gospel is not simply about ‘life’. It is about ‘life out of death’. We’ll recall the words of Nehemiah, ‘The God of heaven will give us success’. Neh 2:20. When we join the dying of our Lord Jesus, God makes us alive together with Him. That is the essential tenet of any ‘success formula’.
