Take Full Responsibility

A lot of times we don’t completely know how responsible we actually are about our lives. You are responsible for your thoughts, actions, success and all that will ultimately happen to you. I love this quote: it is not what happen to you that’s the problem but what you do with what happen to you. Many times we like to push the responsibilities of our lives to other people and things.
We say, ‘that man didn’t come, so I couldn’t do it; the boy or girl said this; they didn’t accept my proposal… We just like to relinquish and think others are responsible for what we will experience in life. That’s absolutely not right. You- not God, not people are responsible. This is the number one rule for smart living.
You are the one who will ultimately determine how happy, prosperous and influential you will be. Nothing is going to change until you change it. In fact, things are going to change for the worse until you do something about it. Take responsibility about your life, actions and thoughts.

A Time to be Strong

For the past few weeks we have been on the series on success. For today however, I will like to share from my random thoughts, this will help you a great deal, so read on. How we need to be strong in life: to live with strength inside of us. You see, knowledge is for use. A proof that you know something is you doing it. You don’t really know something because it’s in the head; you know when you put it to practice. There are people that learn about things- maybe about patience, but then when situations show up, when there is a heat, they can’t just control themselves again. Although they have the knowledge- they know they ought to be patient, they can’t just use that knowledge. A knowledge that can’t be used is useless. Learn to use your knowledge: that’s the way to win. ‘You are a poor specimen if you can't stand the pressure of adversity’. Prov 24:10 TLB
Nobody gets the victory without a fight. You want to experience victory, apply your knowledge, that is the right information that you have-even in the heat.

The ABC's of SUCCESS

I want to share some thoughts on success which to a large extend explains why some people are successful- really successful. As simple as these points are, if you Read, understand, put it to heart and make use of it daily- it will help you a long way.
1. How you Think is Everything: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment. This trait is one of the most important of the ‘successful’. Your belief that you can accomplish your goals has to be unwavering. The moment you say to yourself “I can’t…”, then you won’t. Remove all impossibility mentality from your mind- strike it out from your dictionary.
2. Decide Upon Your True Dreams and Goals: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them. Someone may ask, ‘you mean I should write down my dreams and goals and develop a plan to reach them- like a project plan?’ Yes, that’s exactly what this mean. Goals are those concrete, measurable stepping stones of achievement that track your progress towards your dreams.
3. Take Action: Goals are nothing without action. Be like Nike and ‘Just do it’. Take action everyday to move you closer to your goals. A good idea is nothing without the will to make it happen. When you see an opportunity, leap on it. Ask yourself this: have you taken action today towards your goals?
