“The world can get along without you. Part of life is understanding that you don’t want people to be dependent on you.” -Rick Warren

This is a huge lesson I am learning. The older I get and the more I grow, the less I want people dependent on me and the more dependent I want people to be on God.

Recently I was interviewing CEO of a very successful company. He started the company when he was in college.

Over the years, he has had a lot of successful people invest in his company. Some investors have invested over $1 million in his company. That is pretty amazing for someone in their twenties who started their company on a college campus.

As we were talking about this, he said that as he built relationships with his investors, he started asking them why they invested in his company. He said they all had the same answer, “It’s not the company we’re investing in. Honestly, we don’t think your idea is unbelievable, it’s OK . . . We are investing in you.”

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land. Isaiah 1:19

So many of life’s blessings are dependent on one word: If.

If implies that something is available to us, but there is a choice involved that will affect whether or not we get what’s available. Today I want to encourage you that there is a world of opportunities that lies before you, if you’re interested.
