This coming week I've been asked to talk to a group of high school students on how to prepare for a career. I thought I'd share a portion of the presentation with you. We need to start by setting goals. Goals can range from as big as life goals to as little as a list of jobs for the day.
Sometimes we get ourselves in a pickle. We shouldn't be afraid to ask for advice. We are never to old to learn.
If we want to be successful in life we need to be an example. To our fellow students, to our families, to our co-workers, even our employers.
God has given us all different gifts. We need to identify what gifts we have and then use them to be a leader.
No matter how much or how little we have we are to share what we have been entrusted with. When we become generous by being a blessing to others, God is blessed and so many times the giver is just as blessed as the receiver.
No matter what careers we pursue or how well things go we need to remember that everything we have is a gift from above. It takes having a servant heart to keep ourselves from thinking we did it all on our own. Just as Christ helped us so are we to help each other.
"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed". Psalms 20:4
