“The most important thing was not having it all, but who you became by having it all.”
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
In the Biblical texts, Jesus said to his disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
I don’t think that, at first, the disciples understood the true meaning of that statement.
It meant they were going on a journey that makes them someone else.
Meaning following Jesus was not a journey to Capernaum or Jerusalem, it was a journey into their own better selves.
The most important thing was not going far with Jesus, the important thing was who you became after going that far, having seen what he did and heard what he said.
Pursue the best of life, but after you have it all you are going to realize it is still the same life.
It still has battles victories and failures.
But what only changed is that you have become a more complex person solving more complex problems and winning more complex victories.
The most important part of the journey is who you are becoming NOT where you are going.
