What makes successful people different from the miserable fellows? What do the rich know that the poor people don't know? Is there really a secret that successful know that other people don't know?
These are some of the questions that many people I know and some of you are still asking yourself even today. But is there really a secret that one need to know to get whatever he or she want in life?
I asked myself these questions several times in the past. And as the burden of these questions began to weigh on me, I decided to do something about it by all cost. I attended seminars, workshops, church services, Jumat prayers, I read books and also seek advice from people that I considered successful.
While other successful people were willing to give me little time from their schedule, others simply ignored me and consider me a pain.
But when you really want something so badly, you can keep asking, seeking and knocking. No wonder, "winners never quit and quiters never win".
Incidentally I never knew that all I was looking for was right within me. All the secrets I need to succeed were hidden somewhere within me all the time but I could not fathom how to use it.
So what is this secret of getting anything one wants?
The first secret is changing your mentality. You may ask what I mean.
Simply, you cannot plant maize and harvest rice. It is "impossible" - I hate to use that word.
Likewise, if you are always thinking of poverty, you will always get POVERTY. No doubt about it. So if you want to get anything you want in life, be positive in you thinking. Believe it is possible in spite of any circumstances that may be surrounding you at the moment. No wonder, the BIBLE says "everything is possible to him that believes". Don't blame others for your ill-luck, always look forward to better things ahead - for there is enough for everybody anywhere! Even in Somalia!
Exercise your dominion as a champion and stop complaining over circumstances. You are created by the Great Creator to dominate not to surrender to circumstances! That is just the difference between winners and losers. Winners dominate circumstances, loser complain about what is happening to them.
What happens to you yesterday is irrelevant. What will happen today or what you are doing about tomorrow is more important.
Do you have a goal about what you intend to achieve in life or you are just been tossed by the waves?
Be specific about what you want in life and stick to it. You need a goal to drive you to success.
Whether you believe it or not, God exist. Nothing happens by chance and you MUST thank God all the time for giving you what you are expecting before you even get it.
Visualize what you are expecting as coming to pass. That is, if you want a new car and you are trusting it to materialize; visualize yourself driving that brand of car every morning and before you sleep.
Be on the look out for the surprise. Somebody may not walk up to you to hand over the keys of the car to you; but you may get that particular car cheaper than it is sold in the market!
So where are you right now? Take the right step and see yourself achieving that which you thought impossible. See you at the success corner.
