Growth

Growth isn't measured by the things accomplished, but rather by the evaluation of those involved and affected by that growth (or failure, depending on how the whole is perceived).  Not just as an entrepreneur, but as an individual I am not doing any of this because this is the "end in itself."

Anytime you can't put your finger on it - you're working at whatever drives you.  

It's impossible to say that we aren't doing this because we aren't seeking the some tangible "ends to a means."  Of course we are.  And, we are working (at whatever we are working at) because we see something in the future.  All of us, are working towards something in all areas of our lives.  It may be "getting better at one thing or another."  It may be a particular deal.  It may be a golf game.  In the end, what I'm working toward isn't here, and as a Christian husband, father, churchman, and business man it is that I'm working toward the Kingdom.  It is full of its test and trials, and as this week draws to a close (in this fraction of reflection) - I welcome them.  I welcome them as growth in all the areas of life, because God is using them for His glory. So, I ask you, what is your "ends to a means?"  What is the intangible thing at the end of the day, or the year, or the career or the end of this life?
