When you do, you'll be able to share the philosophy of someone such as the apostle Paul, who was able to say, "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content."3 And that was saying a lot, considering that Paul had been shipwrecked, whipped, beaten, stoned, and imprisoned.

He realized that as long as he was doing what he was supposed to do, his being labeled success or failure by others really didn't matter.”
