THE IRONY OF SUCCESS

In bed this morning I was asking myself; "what are some of the secrets to success in life?". I found the answer right there in my very room. The fan said, "be cool", the roof said, "aim high", the window said, "see the world", the clock said, "every minute is precious", the mirror said, "reflect before you act". The calendar said, "be up-to-date". The door said, "push hard for your goals".  The floor said "kneel down and pray". The toilet said "flush the bad habits that will deter you from becoming someone influential in life!" My Bible laughed and said, "read me for direction". The moral lesson from this piece is that God wants you know that there is a way out for every challenges you are going through. They are only temporary. Therefore, be motivated to rise above your challenges and maximise your potentials for a successful life.

Programming Your Mind For Success

Someone else bad opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality in life. You are responsible for the success or failure of your life. Your life is programmed and controlled by how think, what you say and what you do. Many people have become victims of other people's opinions, expectations and negativities. They pay too much attention to these distractions and they end up being negatively programmed. You can  override these negativities by reprogramming your mind with positive and creative words because your words have creative powers. The scripture puts it this way "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]" (Proverbs 18:21 Amp). On your way to success you will face distractions from those who your success remind them of their own failures. They may try to discourage or even oppose you but the scripture admonished "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of yo

Success Without Limits

I often wonder why those we consider the best are not usually the winners. You see God has a good sense of humour,    He often chooses what is considered worthless or perhaps impossible by human standard to ridicule those who have no regards for His sovereignty. History is replete with stories of how God has raised men and women from the pit to the palace, against all odds. This can only be by the law of divine advantage (God's favour). Your success in life requires a combination of both physical and spiritual laws to enable you fulfill the purpose for your life. You were created for a unique purpose in life and only you can fill that void (niche). In fact you don't have to compete with anyone because you were born with the unique potentials to dominate in your niche. No matter how hard life has knocked you down, always remember you have the seed of greatness in you to rise from the pit to the palace. "I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner does

Becoming A Champion

One of the greatest setbacks in building a successful business or career by leaving your comfort zone to pursue a new venture is fear. Whenever you want to take a bold step and fear creeps in; you can either deal with FEAR as Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. You don't necessarily have to be great and experienced to start but you have to start to become great and experienced. However, before you venture out, focus on learning, and taking immediate actions by leveraging Other People's Experience (OPE/Mentoring), Other People's Skills (OPS), Other People's Ideas (OPI), Other People's Partnership (OPP), etc.               You don't necessarily have to reinvent new wheels to become successful in life. You simply have to start and gradually upscale, until you become a global champion.                           By standing on the  shoulders of giants you can see further. This is an excerpt from my book "Laws of Success" by Clems.

Trust Matters

Success is not an accident, likewise failure; developing the habit of excellence in small matters is a fundamental attribute of successful people. The scripture puts it this way, "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities" (Luke 16:10 NLT).  Without trust it will be impossible to build a lasting and profitable business and personal relationship.
