A self-centered life is one of constant chasing—status, titles, possessions, and recognition. On the surface, it looks impressive. The résumé is polished, the car shines, the achievements stack up. But beneath it all, there is often a quiet emptiness. Why? Because we were never created to be fulfilled by things that fade. A self-centered life puts us at the center of everything, but it leaves us restless, always hungry for the next “fix” of validation.

A God-centered life is the opposite. Instead of chasing applause, it seeks alignment with a greater calling. Instead of striving for what we think will make us important, it leans into what God has already designed us for. True peace comes not from building a kingdom of self, but from living in the purpose God has placed inside us.

Most people spend years climbing ladders, only to realize they were leaning against the wrong wall. Chasing things can give temporary satisfaction, but it never answers the deeper question: Why am I here? When we shift from self-centered to God-centered living, everything changes. Purpose replaces emptiness, calling replaces comparison, and fulfillment finally takes root. That’s the life worth chasing.
