Part of #adulting is figuring out what “success” means, what’s worth going

after. It’s about aspiration and hopes and dreams and goals. Deciding what

“success” means in your own life, and how to get there, if you can.

Aspiration is a good and natural part of life. 

The question scripture insists on, though, is whether our aspirations for

our lives are the same as God’s. The danger comes when we assume the

world’s measure of success and achievement is the same as Christ’s. Paul’s

letter to the Corinthians calls into question what the Christians there are

assuming about what is worthy of admiration and aspiration.
