Every parent wants to raise “successful children.” The irony is that as important as success is to parents, very few of them actually know how to help their children achieve it. Not only that, they are confused about what actual success is and are only aiming for the end results, missing the means by which to attain it.
Most people describe success as:
- Good education
- Good grades
- Good job
- Nice house
- Plenty of money
- Good health
- Happy marriage
That’s just to name a few. It’s a good list. Who wouldn’t want these things for his child? But these things are only some results of success. They are not in and of themselves the success.
Interestingly, the Bible spells out the secret to success and most parents completely miss it! The secret lies in Proverbs 3.
That passage contains the secret that promises:
- long life
- peace
