What is Success?

It's amazing how much we are geared to "reach the masses."

"Drive more people to your blog!" "How to quadruple your reach using social media!" "Get your song/book published!" "Learn the right strategy to attract more people to your platform!"

It's how we view our world... that we must win over the masses; we must influence, entertain, impress... lots and lots of people.

But if we change our vista... if we adjust our paradigm... if we reevaluate our priorities, we'll probably find that influencing the masses isn't all it's cracked up to be. Think of all the celebrities on anti-depressants.

Robin Williams was known by millions. His talent was immense, and he touched so many lives! Yet he suffered tremendously with depression that led to suicide.

What we all long for are deep, satisfying relationships. We can't get those from a crowd. We can't even get them IN a crowd! Jesus' most life-changing miracles were those that happened to ONE person. He walked from town to town to encounter one person at a time.

Why is this society's measurement of success? Is a person a failure if they aren't "known" by many? How do you define success?
