A Fulfilled Life
“make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands” — 1 Thessalonians 4:11 NIV
Climbing the ladder of success or clawing for the big promotion or obsessing about the most social media followers is not the means to a life of peace, contentment, and satisfaction. There is nothing wrong with having goals dealing with career advancement or personal achievements, but an aim toward simple living and staying out of the rat race is a sure choice for fulfillment from life.
I’ve never known anyone to lay on their death bed and lament that they were never the popular kid in school, the boss at work, or the center of attention at any party. However, I have heard the dying say they are at peace because they lived a simple fulfilling life.
Let’s remember, before we’re on our deathbeds, to live a quiet life with our families and focused on the work God gave us.
