Never Fear Rejection


We are on the special series ‘Principles of Success’ and today I'm writing on ‘Never Fear Rejection', you’ll enjoy this.
Learn to see “no” as an opportunity, not a rejection. Prepare for greatness. You see, champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. And the will must be stronger than the skill. Let your tenacity towards life be off the charts. I love the lyrics of song: ‘Ain’t No Stopping Us Now by Mcfadden& Whitehead’. There is so much ‘focus and hard work’ could do. So believe in yourself and go out of your way to achieve your dreams. Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who push through. Refuse to accept failure: when it comes to your dream, refuse to ever take ‘no’ for an answer.
Learn what successful people do, and act that way too. Some people obviously have more going for them than others. Get to know those people. They will lead you by example, and soon you will be one of them. I have learned that successful people have a certain look: they wear certain clothes, walked and carry themselves in a certain manner. Yes, your appearance is your first impression. Think of your style carefully, and take time to do it right. When you act like a successful person and think like one, then you can never see rejection. For no one can really make you inferior without your permission. And you need to start acting successful, don’t wait. Don’t wait to see some ‘trace of material success’ first, no! Act that way first; real success starts from within you. Fortune doesn’t change men; it unmasks them. Never be discouraged in life; never let them see you sweat. Don’t just accept things around you: question the way things had been set up. Learn to ask why and why not. Have no sense of limit and have a fix on the future.

Success Ingredients


Success is discovering you. There are no naturally born failures; failure is self-made. So look inside you and find out what you have inside. And there are certain things you must do:
1. Cultivate a Discontent with Mundanity and Mediocrity in Your Life: refuse to be satisfied with anything that is mundane. Anything that is not excellent. Some people may label you braggadocios when you think like this, but never mind. Set your sail and go for it. When you win, it will be a different story.
2. Drive Yourself to Improve Your Mind and Abilities: whatever you choose to do, become the best in it. If it is good for people and good for God- Great! Go for it. Train yourself, put your abilities in front of you and say to yourself: I will manage and cultivate these. Then start and see.
3. The Unseen You is the One to Make You a Success. Train that man inside of you. There’s a man and woman of substance inside every one of us. Don’t let that inner person be intimidated. Maybe the way you were brought up: you were brought up to think you cannot amount to much. You weren’t raised to be bold. But you know what, you can make new decision today to change the future. Have new programming, new ways of thinking, new ideas, new words and change the course of your life.
4. Don’t let the Memory of the past Stop You: if your past doesn’t inspire you, dump it. You cannot change yesterday; but you can do something today that will change tomorrow. You can position yourself today and change what tomorrow will bring. So invest in your future today.
5. Conquer Your Handicaps: Let nothing stop you. That thing you would have given as a reason for failure, conquer it. Go beyond it; gain the mastery over it. Don’t let it stop you. Hang up your hang ups.
6. Transcend Your Environment: what can you really see? Start thinking of raising businesses and organisations that will rule nations. Be influential. Think of yourself as somebody special. If you don’t say who you are, ‘they’ will say who you are not. Stand up tall.

Intro: The Principles Of Success


Happy New Year to you. How has been the year? For me, I’m moving on in a big way. I’m going to be sharing some very important thoughts in the next few weeks. It will be fulfilling, inspiring and educative. I promise. And your life will never be the same by the time we are through. I’ll be titling this ‘The Principles of Success’. Indeed I will be doing this with a special approach.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to be blessed and inspired by some people. And so, I will be sharing what I have learnt from different people- my special Role Models about the subject of success. I will be sharing parallel truths, because all truths are actually parallel.
Success s is meant for everyone. The principle of success is not a respecter of anyone. Anybody who makes use of these principles will certainly produce its corresponding results. When a person knows what a rich and successful person knows and put that to work, he or she will produce matching results. This world functions by principles and these principles will work for or against a man with or without his direct knowledge of it. Take for instance the law of gravity: that a man doesn’t accept or believe that law doesn’t nullify the law: if he walks off is balcony, he will fall down. So ignorance is not an excuse. Don’t be ignorant; learn what you ought to learn. Don’t just be sincere, because sincerity is not enough. When you are sincere without knowledge, you become sincerely wrong. And that is why I will be sharing on the ‘principles of success’ for the next few weeks, so make sure you hook up with this blog. It is time to learn the principles you didn’t really know before. And learn more and have more understanding of the ones that you do know. So watch out!
