What does it mean to live "above average" and whose "average" are we talking about anyway? For a believer, living above average has nothing to do with materialism, of course, but also nothing to do with personality. What it does have to do with is character...the things that God looks for in our lives.
How does he see success? It's a good thing to know the general direction we're going in from God's perspective so that we can more quickly cooperate with what he's doing in our lives!
Character includes integrity. Telling the truth (in love) is important.
It includes humility. Humility listens and can learn from anyone.
It's dependable. Do what you say you'll do. Keep your promises.
Character lives by priorities. Focus your daily life on your goals and help others focus on theirs.
Be generous. Your generosity and kindness will result in power and respect. (Pslm 112:9)
Put God first. Be content, and trust the Holy Spirit to help you.
