为自己设立更高的标准

Apr 11, 2024

耶和华的话试炼了他(约瑟)。(诗篇105:19)

约瑟的生活教导我们,通往成功的路坎坷难行。成功意味着怀着一个无人认同的梦想,并守候在困顿时节;这需要处理亲人对你的怨恨,并保持良好的态度,包括每天面对诱惑时,仍然持守正直。成功意味着你的诚实赢得了监狱长的信任,他连钥匙也交给你;意味着在你有能力报复时,仍然以恩慈待人;意味着当周围的人都反对你时,你仍然对自己说正确的话;意味着即便你的梦想延迟,仍然专心做好准备,在上帝开门时即可迅速进入。这就是《圣经》所说的“直到后来他的预言应验,耶和华的话试炼了他。” 花一点时间读一读黛安·斯内德克(Dianne Snedaker)这些话,颇有深意:“如果你对成功感兴趣,很容易根据别人的成就来设立标准,然后让他们以这些标准来衡量你。然而,你为自己设立的标准总是更加重要。它们应该比其他任何标准更高,因为最终是你与自己为伴,评定自己,要自我感觉良好,最佳方案就是发挥自己最大的潜力。因此,即便觉得没有人在看,你也要设立并保持高的标准。总有人会留意到的,就算这个人是你自己。”
