SUCCESS KEYS

Hi Ladies, I sincerely apologise for my long absence. It was due to circumstances beyond my control. I hope i was missed.

If u know me very well you would know that i am a voracious reader. I can read for Africa. Lol.
There are some authors whose books have changed my life dramatically. Bishop David Oyedepo is one of such authors. Don't get it twisted i dont attend Winners Chapel I am Staunch Catholic. His books and teachings has had so much positive impact in my life. Enough said i want to discuss some success keys that I learnt from him to you my beautiful ladies today.

These Keys when in place in your life will empower you to become an outstanding success on earth.

PURPOSE

Purpose is one of the dimensional powers for outstanding success. Everyone born into this world is seperated for something, seperated to a well defined purpose. Purpose is a secret for success. Purpose is power. It is the key to realization. Life without purpose equals pressures without reason. When life lacks purpose, it loses colour. Martin Luther King{jnr} is quoted to have said "if a man has no purpose for living, he is not fit to live".

Andrew Young an American diplomat said at a lecture, "For 18 years i eyed the United Nations seat as the united states representative. I didn't let it get off me until i saw it happen." That is what purpose does, it drives a man on. Until you are a goal setter, you never become a goal getter. a football match without a goal post is very frustrating, because the game will never be over. No one scores a goal without a goal post. To become a success therefore you have to set goals for yourself, you must set goal posts where you score your goals.

Many have gone through life without an identified purpose for living. All lifelong they live a trial and error life, not being able to tell what they are in the world for. But where there is no vision, the people perish {Prov. 29-18}

Purpose! Nothing distinguishes as purpose! You belong somewhere, Locate it!

PURSUIT

Purpose is of no value without pursuit. Pursuit is what gives purpose value. Pursuit is the relevant force that transforms your purpose into a reality.

In science, they say every object assumes a state of rest or uniform motion until a force is applied to it. Nothing works by itself, every working thing is made to work by some one. Likewise, when you dont pursue your purpose, you can't possess it.
Vision or purpose is not the end in itself. Its only a means to an end. knowing where you are going is the first step, the actual pursuit is what makes it a reality. Its not enough to get a goal set. goal setting is daydreaming when it lacks pursuit.
The colour of every purpose is determined by the tenacity of the pursuit involved. You belong somewhere. But you don't get there by wishing, you get there by working. What you don't pursue, never think to possess. No one succeeds by accident.
People don't believe in their purpose that is why they lack the energy for pursuit. If you believe in your purpose, you will give it what it takes to see it actualised.
The story was told of Isaac Newton. He was a great scientist who was so addicted to his research work. One day his wife set his food on the dining table, but the man was so engrossed in the laboratory that he didn't go out to eat. His wife later had to clear the table. When he finally remembered and went out to eat, he didn't meet any food on the table. All he said was , Oh i forgot i had eaten already."The man was so deep in his pursuit that he sometimes didn't remember to eat!
Success is not anywhere, it is in you and what you do with your purpose in life.When you don't pursue your purpose, it fizzles out. Pursue your job! Go after it! It wont work until you work it. Pursue your purpose, persist in its pursuit and you will possess your desire.
Say this prayer with me.... "Lord help me to understand the purpose for my living and energise me in the pursuit of the same. i dont want to roam about the earth as a waste. I am an asset to your kingdom. I am going to run. Everyone that obtained had to run. I am not going to wake up in the morning, and fold my hands, lying down in bed night and day, waiting and wishing for things to happen. I am created a runner, there is something on my inside that is able to occupy me till my time here on earth is over. I look up to you to be a successful runner."

PERSISTENCE

The act of tireless pursuit is what i call persistence. It is keeping at the pursuit of your purpose with patience. Nothing amounts to much without a consistent and persistent input. E.W Kenyon said, "A sculptor was asked, How did you come by this beautiful art work? How did you get this out of that wood? He replied, "I simply kept at it" Every precious thing takes its time.
Hit and run people never make the race. It is hit and stick that makes it. Some one gave a very powerful illustration which i love. He said when you strike a wall with a sledge hammer, it doesn't come down at the first strike. Perhaps it gives way at the 50th blow. But the 50th blow wasn't what actually brought the wall down. It was the cummulative effect of all the previous 49 blows. The 50th blow just happened to be the one that received the ovation.

God has ordained every purpose in life to start as a baby, to grow into maturity, till it is finally set for exploit. No precious thing begins in its fullness. It starts as a seed and with a persistent pursuit, it explodes into that great thing God destined it to be.

Till my Next Post.
Loads of Hugs and Kisses.
