What is Five Star Success? Five Star Success is having a balanced, well rounded, well-grounded life full of joy, love, peace, and purpose. We accomplish Five Star Success by first having an awareness that God is at the center of success in every area of our lives. When we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, ALL these things will be added unto us (Matt. 6:33)! It is then that we are released to become the woman or man of God in which the Father created us to be! Five Star Success is not about arriving at a specific destination. It's about enjoying the journey and diving deep into God's word. It's about having a childlike faith and positioning ourselves to receive the Kingdom of God. It's a state of mind, an attitude of gratitude - where God is all, in all, through all. With God, nothing is impossible (Matt. 19:26).
