As I am approaching the next chapter of my professional career, the question I continue to ask is: “What is the true cost of success?”. While a successful and productive career has always been important to me I question what the cost is for me to continue to push for what others call success? When I read Matthew 16:26 it reiterates the questions in my mind, “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” As I approach the the final sections of my life, what can I do to ensure I am not wasting the years I have left. We are not promised tomorrow and we are certainly not promised a trouble fee end to our earthly existence. So, what am I supposed to do with the last part of my life? What am I supposed to focus on? Am I wasting my time pursuing things that don’t matter in the light of eternity? Those are the questions I wrestle with lately. And those are the answers I am seeking.
