You are at the top when...

1.   You have made friends with your past, and you are focused on the present and optimistic about your future.

 

2.   You have the love of friends and the respect of your enemies.

 

3.   You are filled with faith, hope and love and you live without anger, greed, guilt, envy or thoughts of revenge.

 

4.   You know that failure to stand for what is morally right is the prelude to being the victim of what is criminally wrong.

 

5.     You are mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus from your rights to your responsibilities.

 

6.   You love the unlovable, give hope to the hopeless, friendship to the friendless, and encouragement to the discouraged.

 

7.   You know that success (a win) doesn't make you, and failure (a loss) doesn't break you.

 

8.      You can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion and up with gratitude.

 

9.     You are secure in who (and whose) you are so you are at peace with God and in fellowship with man.

 

10. You clearly understand that yesterday ended last night, that today is a brand-new day and it is yours!

 

11. You know that "he who would be the greatest among you must become the servant of all."

 

12. You are please to the grouch, courteous to the rude, and generous to the needy because you know that the long term benefits of giving and forgiving far outweigh the short-term benefits of receiving.

 

13.  You recognize, confess, develop and use your God-given physical, mental and spiritual abilities to the glory of God and for the benefit of mankind.

 

14.  You stand in front of the Creator of the universe, and He says to you, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
