Excerpt from Chapter Five
THE PATH TO SUCCEED
The road to achieving goals, strategies, and purposes in life, is never smooth. There are challenges and obstacles along the way but the determination to remain focused on the goal is what guarantees success. To determine the path to success, you must:
1.) Locate Your Assignment
Never compare someone else's success to yours. This is one of the reasons why people get frustrated in life. Every human being on earth is born to succeed. There are ingredients we all carry that open the gate to our success. Locate what that occupation or trade is and strive to accomplish it. For example, I know my place of assignment here on earth, and as I continue to function, success is bound to always occur.
2.) Acquire skill, training, and expertise
Show me a successful man, and you will see a man who is skilled in his trade or very proficient in his enterprise. In other words, the level of success attained is determined by our level of awareness, understanding, and knowledge of a certain field.
The point to emphasize here is that no matter what a man does for a living, he should get himself properly trained before he fully ventures into that enterprise. It is my wish for everyone to prosper, but your prosperity does not only depend on my wish, but it also depends on the development of your mind(3 John 2). We all need to improve our level of skill and efficiency in our area of enterprise. It is necessary to acquire professional help from those who are already skilled so we can be better and do the things we do better.
Show me a successful man, and I will show you a man who made use of the opportunities that came his way.
In the society we find ourselves today, people imitate others. This is wrong! I will never imitate anyone because I am not them, and vice versa. The reason why there is bitterness, envy, animosity, competition, rivalry in the church is that people think that some other person's place or position is better than theirs. So, they bicker and try to pull down their fellow Christian brother and sister because they have difficulty accepting what God has put on the inside of them. A life spent that way is unhealthy and leads to unfulfilled accomplishment.
3.) Prepare to Work Hard
“What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not worked? can faith save him?
James 2:14 (KJV)
After fasting and praying, the only way God can step in is for you to mix your faith with work. Work means action, do something! It is after you work that God Almighty will begin to add favour to your work.
“If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?” James 2:15-16(KJV).
If we rely only on faith without backing it with works, there will be nothing for God to bless. He only blesses 'something.' Bring out what is on the inside to experience extraordinary success.
4.) Prepare Ahead for the goals.
Success is meant for thinkers, it is not innate, it can be learnt. It is said that ideas rule the world. But these ideas do not come through shallow minds, they resonate from the reservoir of our capacity to think.
The fact that a major task was accomplished in any department of life, is not the end of the road. We live in a very dynamic environment, one in which the indices of an individual’s success is determined by his ability to be able to come up with a plan. If someone puts ten million naira in your hands; without any concrete plans designated for it, it will be squandered in no time. It is not only about the amount of money in your account, but it is also about your capability to sit and think through on how the money will be spent strategically.
For married couples to enjoy more blissful years in marriage, they can draft out a plan on how to make their marriage more beautiful as the years go by.
Never capitalize on making money alone, instead go after rendering of services as well. Some people get into business and all they are interested in is when the money will start rolling in. This is a limited way of thinking. When people are in need, they look out for those who can render the services required. It is best to make the business as reachable as possible to people. It should be flexible. Make the environment of the business-friendly and accommodating, and more people will endeavour to patronize the business.
