There are three pillars to the “better than good” life: passion, peak performance, and purpose. - Zig Ziglar

The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year. There´s no sign of growth. Not even a hint. The same thing happens - or doesn´t happen - the second year. And then the third year. The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year, but nothing shows. No growth. No anything. For eight years it can continue. Eight years! Then - after the eight years of fertilizing and watering have passed, with nothing to show for it - the bamboo tree suddently sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months!

We bring a smile to God’s face when we express thanks for what we have instead of complaining because we don’t have the latest version of a toy we want. We give God joy when we take care of what He has loaned us instead of trashing things.

Value and purpose are about understanding the specific benefits you will help people receive if they receive what you have for them.
