I am glad that the AMP doesn’t inform my definition of success. AMP has recently started screening an advertisement on Australian television, very similar to a version screening in NZ – you can watch the NZ version by clicking the play button on the image below.
AMP asks us what success is, and then goes on to give us the answers.
I’m totally sceptical of any life advice that a financial institution might presume to provide me with, and not only because it took me an unnaturally long time to learn how to walk (I’ve almost got the hang of it now). Yet we are inundated with messages from people or organisations that want to help us define how successful we are, and how to become a success.At any stage of your life you may ask yourself the question – am I a success? How would you respond if you asked yourself that question today? Whilst I am sure that the AMP’s definition for success is not mine, to be honest, I’m not sure how I would answer that question. As both a human and a Christian, I’m prompted to consider what success means for me (in a big picture sense, not whether I was successful at filling the car with petrol), and how I should seek to achieve it. What is success? How should it be defined? What measures should we apply to assess our success or otherwise?
