The Templeton Plan: Step 3

The Templeton Plan is written for those who consider themselves students in the school of total success. It is suggested that you devote yourself to one step each day, over a period of three weeks, Each step should be studied carefully until the following questions can be answered in a satisfactory and thorough manner:
  1. What do these ideas really mean?
  2. How do they apply to my own life?
  3. How can I use their meaning in achieving success?

Step 3: Helping Yourself By Helping Others

  • The word ministry can be perceived in many different ways. In truth, a ministry is everything productive that you can accomplish in life. Your ministry is also your livelihood, so choose carefully. Make sure you love what you do, by taking the attitude that it should be done on behalf of others. 
  • As a giver, a helper, you are much more likely to be successful than the person who works simply to earn a living.  The great ministry is not to build yourself into a model but to help others discover and develop their abilities. 

Takeaways:  

  1. Explore your talents carefully; choose your career with care; make certain you love what you do.
  2. Share your talents in ways that truly benefit others, particularly the less fortunate.
