It
seems that some people have a natural winning formula for success and happiness
while others fit into the opposite category. To be self-sufficient and
productive, it appears from a distance that successful individuals have life
scripts written out, and all they have to do is roll with the flow of
opportunities.
A man in his thirties said he was
encouraged by his parents to become a molecular biologist. Being intelligent
and motivated, he thought it made sense to comply with his parents’ encouragement.
Approaching mid-life feeling dissatisfied and conflicted, he now questions his
choice. However, obligations and so much responsibility make change a distant
dream.
This
man is at a crossroads where decisions affect himself, his career, and his
family. What helps him choose wisely is the wellspring of hope from Psalm 1. “The
man who delights in the laws of God and follows his will is like a tree planted
by streams of water that yields its fruit in due season. Whatever he does
prospers.” This is a winning formula for success.
