Remember then the Lord, your God, for He is the one who gives you the power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18)With this new, hard-earned wisdom, I've redefined a successful day: It's one where I don't lose my cool, and can be proud of who I am when I lay my head down to sleep. I've also surrendered the idea that I can achieve this on my own. It's really beyond me. Every day, now, on my drive to work, I take a ballpoint pen and draw a small ladder on the side of my hand. It's a visual reminder to set my sights on a different form of success, and to lean that ladder on God to get me there.
