LIFE: IMPACT ABOVE FAME OR FORTUNE

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY till I come – Luke 19:13

Friend, you were born to be a PERSON of IMPACT.

If you are born-again, it is that you may live a life of TEMPORAL and ETERNAL IMPACT! Salvation is a seal of distinction. Redemption is a guarantee for a life of impact. The brevity of life and shortness of time show the folly of living for material things (Psa. 49: 10-12).

IMPACT implies being a PLUS not a MINUS.
IMPACT implies adding and multiplying VALUE.
IMPACT implies being an ASSET not a LIABILITY.
IMPACT implies being a PROVIDER not a PARASITE.
IMPACT implies being a PRODUCER more than a CONSUMER.
IMPACT is to be a CONTRIBUTOR, not a DETRACTOR.
IMPACT is to be a DISTRIBUTOR, not a DESTITUTE.
IMPACT is to be part of the SOLUTION, not the PROBLEM.

…But, impact can be positive or negative, constructive or destructive!

Life is more about positive, powerful, constructive IMPACT than about attaining great FAME or amassing immense FORTUNE!

Impact is not an overblown ego, a celebrity status or “hollow” heroism. It is not necessarily about fame, fortune, popularity, greatness and grandeur. Impact can be silent, subtle, serene, and gracious. It does not have to be flamboyant, rude or violent. Rather, true Impact is a product of Purpose, Preparation and Pursuit.

IMPACT is superior to ACHIEVEMENT or SUCCESS. You can achieve or succeed in an endeavour and yet be of benefit only to you and your closest associates. Success in itself is nothing unless we can use the benefits that accrue from it to impact positively on the lives of others. Impact is never limited to immediate contact. Impact causes far-reaching effects! IMPACT often transcends LOCATION and GENERATION!
