A Very Important Secret to Success

You want to live a very successful life- then show up to your dreams, goals and purpose swiftly and consistently. To be very successful we must be quick to use what we have learnt. Many are accustomed to only learning and learning: reading books of success from different authors. But you see knowledge is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. When you continuously use what you have and know, where you are, you will see what drastic result you will start producing.
To be successful doesn’t mean you’ve to know everything about life. In fact, to know more in an effective way, you have to use what you know. Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice (James1:22 TEV). Don’t read about success and start saying, ‘that thing didn’t work’, but ask yourself: have I really practice it, did I learn it rightly.
We should put to work more of what we are learning than seeking to learn more. As you learn about God, life, success put it to work for yourself. For many, it is easy to learn something; it is easy to talk about something they’ve learnt. So let us practice it easily and swiftly also. Don’t deceive yourself.
Things are not as hard as they initially look generally. Launch out- you will be amazed how much you can actually accomplish.

Do More

There is a need for us as individuals to get more life experience. I look into the world that we live in today and I see a lot of people choosing ‘safety’ ahead of freedom. They like to keep their talent, so that no one will laugh at their dream. They cling to a ‘safe’ job, because they think that’s the only way out. They fail because they are afraid to try. Freedom is much better than safety; it better to be free than to be merely safe. That is, to be free to live- to be what and all that God wants for you. A prisoner behind the bar is sure safe, but he isn’t free.
Did you know your dreams can’t wait? Find a way to live it. Nobody may be able to tell you the specifics on how to live your dream, but you should be able to, because in every dream there is a way. If the Wright brothers kept their dream to themselves, maybe we’ll still have to be travelling on sea to go overseas. Make your coming to this world count. Don’t merely exist, live to the full. You see, talk doesn’t cook the rice. To make it count, you must do. You must go ahead of yourself and live distinguishingly. When others are sleeping, you may need to be working. Yes, you pay the price. Do more, think more, pray more and live more.

Live Deliberately

You can be what you want to be: all you need is the right knowledge, wisdom and attitude. If you decide what you want and go for it, you will get it. A lot of times what people call their dream are actually wishful thinking. This is so because they’ve never put ‘this dream’ to work. I tell you: live deliberately- decide how, where and what you want to do.
I’ve got news for you: Hoping that things will fall into place is not enough; you are the one to make things fall into place for you. This is a vital truth you must understand. For some people, this is good news- it offers them the opportunity to make things happen. But to some others- it isn’t; they are too scared to make things happen and so they freak out. Where do you stand?
Decide what you want. Do things that you know can help you achieve your dreams. Define what you want, find the price and pay it. Every result has a how, find it and go to work. Life is too short (even if you lived to be 150) to cross your legs and wait for things to happen. It’s high time you made things happen in your life. Many fail because of their thinking: when you think wrong, your life goes wrong. Don’t think you can’t do what you ought to do. Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. (Phil 4:8TLB).
In whatever you want to do, ask yourself about what results you’ll want to achieve with it. Live consciously. Many make decision rashly; they think rashly and act rashly. They go out for the day without a plan, and then they wonder why they didn’t achieve anything worthwhile that day. But why should they? They got what you planned for: nothing. Don’t act that way: not only should you decide and plan what you want, put your plan to work.

What will You Do?

God has given you so many things- what will you do with them? Some people are keeping what they have; some others are always asking for more, while some don’t even know they have something. They ask: what do I have? Do I have something? Yes you do! To start with you have: eyes, legs, hands, body, friends, neighbours, brain (mind), opportunities. All these are so important; have you really taken advantage of it. A lot of times people concentrate on inadequacies, helplessness, but not on their adequacies. I'm asking: what are you going to do with what God gave you?
Talking about your brain, scientist said it so complex and wonderfully fashioned; It contains about 14 billion cells.
Lessons from Matt 25:14-29
God never gets sympathetic on (cannot help) a man who will not change his situation with what he has.
There’s always an option; there’s always something you can do.
The issue is not about what God will give you, but what God has given you.
The people who are successful in the world are not people who God gave more, but those who made use of what they had.
To some people the world has become so wicked that they can’t dream again.
God is not poor, why are His kid thinking poor.

Aknowledging You

In life, you really have to understand who you are. Learn how to look inwards and appreciate what you have. How important for us to look inside instead of looking around. Believe the one that God made, you.
One of the things I have discovered is that the ‘answers’ are inside of us; all we need is inside of us. Let this dawn on you. Walk in confidence. Find out- pull out these things that God has placed in you. The Bible says, ‘we have these treasures in earthen vessels…’ God didn’t make a man without handing him something. A man who says that he doesn’t have, don’t know what he has. And then the looking around to find what he thinks he needs will make him to miss out on what’s with him. Quit from the noisy spirit- a life that always need someone or something. Why do you think you need someone or something, when you don’t even need yourself? If you do not appreciate who you are, what you’ve got- then how in the world should someone else be obligated to. Appreciate yourself and what you’ve got; get ready to make use of it where you are. Before long, people will necessarily notice you. Your life starts from you.
A prove that you can do big things is the little things you do well. The truth is that you cannot know how much you can do until you begin. So now is the best time to be alive and productive. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

Life By Design

One of the greatest problems in the world is ignorance of identity. Many have found themselves in situation where they don’t know who they are; what they are made up of; what they came for; and whose they are. And so, they live ignorantly.
God made us to live by design- to live on purpose. You see, there’s a reason you are here on earth: make sure you fill in your own piece of the puzzle. Use your unique and special gifts. You were made an irreplaceable breed.
Our mission chooses usDon’t miss out on God’s best, don’t settle for less. Come to find out God’s dream for your life, and follow after it. You see, God provides for the vision.
As you find your purpose in life, ignite your passion. We choose our profession, but not our mission. Many go through years of ‘wilderness experience’ because they don’t know who they are. They put the cart before the horse. That doesn’t work. Decide to make things happen in your life. Put first things first: know yourself. And true knowledge has to do with God. Find out who you are and what you really about, because without this, you would have difficulty in figuring out what you are to become in life- your purpose. By really knowing yourself you will be able to renew and reinvent yourself for every change and challenge you will face in life. Through soul searching you could come to know what you are made up of.
When you have convictions in your life, you will be ready to really live, because you’ll go in the direction of your knowledge; you live passionately, with enthusiastically and courageously. You know what: your dreams can’t wait, live it! After all that’s the reason you came. Live by design- by God’s given purpose. Make an impact in your generation. The world is waiting for you.

Living With Courage

The way you live and the quality of life you reflect are up to you. Life is a choice. You can choose to be bold, optimistic, happy and full of life. You can also choose to fear- to think you cannot ‘do it’. You can choose to make excuse. There are people who always make things happen, however some others like to always give reasons why they can’t do what they ought to do. It’s all a matter of choice.
Courage makes champion out of usTo live successfully, you must constantly choose to be courageous-to live with strength inside of you. Face your life with strength; you’ll be amazed the walls of limitation that people talk about are unreal.
Courage makes champion out of us: makes us decide our fate. Don’t wait for ‘right circumstances’; make them. You’ve got the power to create the world- the atmosphere you live in. As a man of courage, you’ll do what you want to do in spite of what’s happening around you. Many cower because they don’t really know who they are. When you discover who you are: you’ll square up, chest up, and raise your head up-ready to make an impact in the world.
You’re never alone. Open your eyes to see that: they that are with you are so much. Have faith in God: your faith should make you one of the most courageous persons in the whole wide world.
There is a difference between mere existing and living. You were not created to exist but to live. To always live on the same side of fear is to merely exist. Don’t make ‘life’ always push you around. Don’t merely struggle to get by in you family, business, job, relationships, finances. Live life to the full- be the captain of your ship, because you are anyway. You deserve and have been given the best of life, live it.
